MUSTANG RUST REPAIR II

Once the back of the car was back together I made brackets for the rotisserie to bolt to the bumper bracket mounts and got it mounted. I turned it so I could work on the top first where there were 5 rust through holes.

 The entire top was striped to bear metal so all the rust damage could be treated

 There was glue still on the paint from the vinyl top that was on the car that had to be stripped off.

 Above and below are a couple of spots of the holes and rust ruts .

 I used a 3M paint & rust stripper disc for paint removal.

 Above all the holes are welded up and a rust treatment has been applied and below body filler has been applied. The top was then blocked sanded for a smooth finish.

 This is rust holes at the bottom left corner of the back window and top corner of the trunk and below is after the repair is done.

 This is before and after the right fender inner panel at the battery location has been replaced that includes a new battery tray assembly.

 The driver side rear floor pan was beyond repair and a new one was available so it was cut out and the area around it was cleaned up.

New floor pan installed.

 Behind the driver side seat mount platform the rust had worked its way up from the floor pan that needed to be fixed.

 Below the area shown above the floor pan had rusted through and hat to be repaired from the bottom side of the car.

 The area was cut out a pattern made then the piece made with the seat bolt access hole in it. While the hole was open a patch plate was welded in on the back side of the damaged seat platform.

 Damage repaired including a smaller patch to the right just above the rocker.

 The bottom corner of the windshield on the drivers side was rusted through that would have leaked water on the top of the instrument panel.

 I used a aluminum backing plate and was able to weld up the holes with out making a patch.

Hopefully all the rust damage is is now fixed and I can move on to scrape, clean and paint the bottom of the car and the engine compartment then rebuild the suspension.

With that done that only leaves every thing left to do.
