Doing some body work on a GP today. New rocker panels and some surface rust.

Rusted threw.
Attachment 22096

Drivers side isn't as bad.
Attachment 22097

Surface rust on the passenger side door.
Attachment 22098

Deep scratch on the drivers side door.
Attachment 22099

Jacked it up so it's easier to work on.
Attachment 22100

The rust is bad, real deep.
Attachment 22101

Now on to the rocker panels.
Attachment 22102

Cutting it off.
Attachment 22103

Now much metal left here.
Attachment 22104

You know what I say, if your not bleeding, your not working on a car. I opened the door and it slammed shut. Didn't see it coming, but I sure felt it.
Attachment 22105

More pictures coming

It's not really your car if it hasn't drawn blood!

When can I bring my car by for some rust removal.

Yea I got some on mine I need to get around too, just haven't felt like forking out the money for paint to repaint the area after I fix it :/

Ah, wonderful rocker panel rust. Luckily mine isn't that bad yet lol, but I see plenty that are. Good luck, looking forward to seeing some after pics.

Well, I got a few uploaded.

After messing around with the cut off wheel, I ran out and bought this.
Attachment 22081

Yep, I think this will be better.
Attachment 22082

Oh heck ya, this is way better.
Attachment 22083

All gone.
Attachment 22084

Attachment 22085

This is all that was left of the passenger side, it just fell apart.
Attachment 22086

Fitting the new panel.
Attachment 22087

Man, the rust. Guess I'm doing some glass work as well.
Attachment 22088

Drilled the holes for spot welding
Attachment 22089

All done.
Attachment 22090

Next time I do this, I'm buying a actual spot welder.
Attachment 22091

This took forever. If I went to fast it blew a hole in the metal.
Attachment 22092

Glassed up the hole.
Attachment 22093

Attachment 22094

Masking it off for paint.
Attachment 22095

Now I need to try to upload more pictures.

The problem seems to be my Internet connection. It's seems to be turning on and off. Kind of ticking me off.

ymmot04 09-20-2010 09:59 PM

I'm excited for the after pictures, that's quite the project you've got going. Hopefully your internet comes back up soon.
