With the engine issues sorted, its back to rust repair on the Metro. I just patched up a hole in the exhaust last night, and this weekend it'll be body workin time! I don't plan on making it perfect as its really just a daily beater, but I also don't want my daily beater falling in half or looking like a turd.
Here are a few updated pictures I've taken recently.
These side shots I snapped last night while working on the exhaust. This is the area I'll be starting with.
Driver's rocker forward.
Driver's rocker rear.
Driver's side overall.
These I shot a while back while having a Metro work day with another local owner.
This is the driver's side carpet pulled up.
And the rubber piece pulled up too. Yay, daylight.
I wire wheeled that whole side of the car last night, so I'll be busting out the grinder and welder tonight.
So, I have my work cut out for me. Any tips I'm definitely open to. The current plan is cut out what rust I can, weld in new structural / cosmetic metal. Convert the rust I can't cut out. Smooth over with body filler, then paint. I am NOT a body guy at all. This is actually my first real project doing anything cosmetic so it should be interesting.
