I ground the welds I'd done to the front of the pass side floorpan some, but
I didn't take a picture.
Instead, I started on the
constellation of rustholes on the rear of the pass side pan.
Rather
than handle each area individually, I decided to replace that whole area.
Here you see the in-progress. |
In this image, as you can see, I've started welding in the patch. | |

I have been having feed problems with the welder. Sometimes it feeds
the wire correctly and I get really good welds... and sometimes the drive
roller just spins and barely moves the wire, and then I get things that
aren't really welds.
Pretty sure I've narrowed it down to needing to
replace the cable liner. I'll pick one up on the way in to work
tomorrow.
I've also been running with far too much shielding gas
pressure. I guess that's from when I was trying to use up what was
left in the tank, but the result is that between the floor patches and the
cowl repair, I've almost used the entire bottle of gas again.
This is where I left this, since I'm having trouble welding. |
For your enjoyment, this is what the panel I cut out looks like with the
sky behind it. Silver paint pen used to mark areas that I knew had
problems; looks like I missed some too. | |

The car continues to shed the old paint in chunks. This is without any
sort of tool usage; just peel where it's already peeling up. |
