Still repairing the chassis. Today was spent working on the front of the chassis. The box section below the RH suspension mount had been patched. Although it didn’t look rusty it was decided to cut out this section out for aesthetic reasons and replace with a new piece. On cutting out the old box section the reason for repair was discovered. The original section box section had cracked through.
I also prepared the petrol tank for shot blasting today by removing all the petrol and rinsing it out with water. A large amount of rust particles came out with the petrol and on closer inspection the inside of the tank is very rusty. This means I will probably have to replace the tank or repair it before fitting it back onto the car.
