HA detailed body pictures

Postby rtlkyuubi » Sun Dec 28, 2008 12:28 am

Well i decided to cut out the bodge repair the previous owner did to the passenger footwell and now im left with a gaping hole :D

(pics to come!!)

I could just patch it up but Im wondering if anyone has any close up pics of how it should look like so I can get it close to originial as possible.

Many thanks

Ryan.

it always look better when the new metal is spliced in instead of just plating over the old rotten bits

Nice satisfying repair Ryan. Good solid work.
Looked suitable for Fred & Wilmma till you fixed it :)

Looks fantastic.

I'm just pulling my HA to bits - if you need photographs of bits to assist you next time please contact me by pm and I'll get something sorted if I can help.
