Jaguar XJ6 - Welding finished, quick paint.

Welded up and sprayed with stone chip underneath.


And Satin black for the moment on the sill to keep the weather out until I can find some dry long enough to give it a skim of filler and paint it the right colour.




Good old Hammerite inside where it doesn't show.Now all i have to do is remember where all this lot goes and screw it back together

Jaguar XJ6 Floor Rot cut & Weld

Yay, a dry day.

Put the Jag back on its wheels and used Nigel to drag it out of the Puddle it was sat in. Did you know Clio 182's don't have rear towing eyes? No? Me neither till I couldn't find one! Gah. They do have bits to tie stuff down in the boot, plenty good enough!

Cut out and tacked in the plates that would form the floor:



Ill weld them in place from underneath as that's were I need to stop the water getting in.

Inner sill still needs cutting straight and extending to meet the new floor:



Cut the rot out from the outer sill



At which point this happened:


The welder had a total fit, couldn't get a decent weld for love nor money, god knows, it was like welding without gas spattery crap. Hmmmm. Tomorrow I'll clean the tip up and see if I cant get bloody thing working right again.

Anyway, progress of a sort. Might even drive it soon.
