When summer was almost gone, I changed garage, so it was time to continue.
Co-drivers side was next.
There is something rust inside of the front beam... why not!
Inner fender and beam needs to open and redone. There is so much swollen rust inside.
Sill end has a "unique" design... Oh no!
Removed some silicone... this was hiding underneath...
Front part of sill... New sheet metal under, rust above and a slice of thin sheet between... and a weld with air gap. These thin sheet metal patches are from a fridge or a washing machine...
Rear part: new metal and a lot of underbody coating.
Pintamassa olikin sitten ainoa pinnoite. Pala on hitsattu! Kylkipellissä on mukana edellisen korjaajan pakkelitkin ja saumassa on hyvät ruosteet...
Oh my, there are some weld! But above there is a lot of bondo above and rust in that body seam.
There is something weird in wheel well...

Holes, rust and bad job done.
It needs attention, again!
Starting point... door pillar.
And inside of it... oh no!
New sheet metal.
Hmm... more rust..
That was under piece of fridgerator...
Took bad metal away...
That was not enough, so ... cut more!
I had to cut floor pan too...
And outside after cutting... no rust.
That needs to be done.
It needed some metal inside, too...
Welded together with new outer part.
Outside... grinded and some paint removed.
...and zinc paint.
Sisähelma työn alle. Nyt tuota ei voi laittaa kokonaisena, joten...

Some missing welds and rust holes...
Opended more. Now I can do some work... saw saw and air chisel...
Had to cut sill...
Not very nice wiew...
Leikeltynä ja hiottuna, valmiina uusia osia varten. Yläpuolella näkyy pois katkaistu tukipalikka.
Many hours later there is no rot at all... almost.
First a small job.
Missing parts done...
An other wiew...
Then more metal... I did cut a piece of that sill...

Edellinen mestari oli vaan hitsannut 12mm mutterin "kattopeltiin". Nyt on alkuperäisen kokoinen 2mm lätkä tukena.
Now it looks right. There were just a nut welded before.. not safa at all..
And after that... Welding time!
