Near side heater channel |
|
Now with the interior removed I could get at the channels and start to cut them out. |

Near side heater channel |
|
Half of the channel has been cut off here, just deciding where to make the next slices! |

Heater channel front |
|
This was a bit rotten, I have had to cut quite far up the A pillar to find some good metal here. |

Heater channel front rotten |
|
The rot here was really bad, not a lot of point moaning about to so - out came the grinder again! |

Heater channel rear |
|
Here are the first cuts made removing the rear section. Again - this was quite rotten. |

Heater channel Offside |
|
This side of the car needs to be done at some point over the next 2 years, if I get the time - I will do this side aswell whilst the car is apart. |

Heater channel Offside |
|
Not too bad, but needs replacing. Probably a lot more rotten that it looks on the outside! |

Where the heater channel used to be |

|
|
|
This area needs much more work to make it clean enough to weld to |
|

|
Semi prepared area NSF |
|
Most of the gunk and rot have been cut away now on this side, I just need to grind back to the metal to prepare for welding. |
