Rust repairs (upgrades)

I got some time to work on my own project (finally) Just some basic rust repair panels, but it's still some progress. They are not welded in place yet.

And today I finished the basic install of the new rear apron that uses zdus fastners to remove apron for drive train work. I still have some metal work to do to get the fit tighter with the body (damn brazilian made parts)

Good to see you got a chance to get back on your project. Love the way you mounted the rear apron.

Nice touch with the removable rear apron and Dzus fasteners. Wish I would have done it...

Already got the mexi seals Tony. You told me about them over on STF years ago, before I joined this site, and the VKG.

Well, since I couldn't go to eurofest because of some work that came in unexpectedly I did make some time today to make a new monting plate for the 915 shifter, and TIG weld it in...
