Well, finally got some time on the Saab again, the car arrived back from Alan the welding guru, who did a great job of the arch's and the passenger side driveshaft area. He also repaired the rot under the rad. I swopped some irrigation materials for some blaster time, and got the hatch and bonnet (hood) blasted clean around all the rust areas. We were about to fill in the gaps, but the massive compressor blew a seal and ended the fun and games.
got this rot cleaned up, hood and hatch going to my painter next week and he will weld in new metal.
started wire wheeling all the shuts and the engine bay, my painter has a slot end of next week and he will do all the exterior, then I can take the Summer to do the underneath and inside, then put it all back to-gether.
After the messy job with the grinder, rust killer goes on.
Here's the repaired front section...not easy
Engine bay stripped...filthy job...
Rust killer applied...
And finally etch primer, good and thick...
Next is seam sealing, chassis black and off to the painter.
Finally, my friendly resident robin has decided that one of my storage shelves is a perfect nesting site, so now I'am
tip-toeing around the place and all of the tools in this area are now off limits. Nature, what would we do without it.
Can't wait for the chirp chirp!!!!!!
