As we shall soon see,
you can't judge a book by it's cover. |
Interior comes out, and
the front & rear bumpers come off. |
Wings are the next to
go. The doors and top stay on for now. |
Patched floor doesn't
look too bad. Note patched firewall. |
|
|
|
|
Patches were installed over body mounts and
up the firewall again. |
Patched floor not so pretty from below. Body
mount is attached to nothing! |
Some areas were not patched, but those on the
seat riser mean trouble! |
Spare tire pan was also patched from above,
and will be replaced. |
|
|
|
|
Rust in the frame
means it will have to be replaced.
|
This freshly
restored TR4 chassis with rebuilt engine was a lucky find!
|
After careful measurements, new floors and
sills were welded together on the new frame. |
RF corner after
the rusty floor, firewall, and bulkhead end panel were removed.
|
|
|
|
|
All of this needs to be replaced now, to hold
the A post in correct alignment. |
An intricate patch panel was fabricated in
the original form & installed. |
Reproduction
bulkhead end panel fit like it should.
|
LF corner needed
the same repairs as the right side.
|
|
|
|
|
New left lower firewall section was more
difficult to fabricate than the right side. |
Here's where that
pesky rear seat riser was taken out.
|
Time to take the
doors, hardtop section, and bonnet off.
|
Well past the
point of no return, it's time to cut this car into 2 big pieces.
