Intermission

My Mustang returned home, temporarily. I visited my friend and he was going on a trip for a week so I decided to take the car back home. The engine now had about 1000 km on it after the rebuild so it was time to change the oil again and I could stop babying it around. He said that the engine had been working fine while he had the car so hopefully I would not find any nasty surprises.

The worst of the rust problems on the car had been fixed. My friend started by cutting out the passenger front floor. It was full of holes and needed to be replaced. Drilling out the spot welds had been a really annoying task but had to be done.

The frame below the floor had been sand blasted and painted with a light coat of paint. I’ll spray some more later. The new floor panel was not exactly the same as the old but with some hammering had fit in. My friend welded it in from the below and again sprayed a light coat of rust prevention pain on. I’ll spread more later again.

There was also some pretty bad rust holes in the passenger side frame below the floor so the corroded part was cut out and new metal welded in.

Still left are the driver side floor and the right rear wheel arch. I'll work with the car myself for a while and then take it back for the welding to be finished.
