Today I was out in the garage for 0ver 3 hours. I decided to revisit the rear valance inner panel (what you would see if you were under the car looking towards the back of the frame) that I fabricated earlier in the year. Upon examination this morning I decided it really did not meet my standard of workmanship so I did some reworking, clean up and additional fabrication. The finished panel looks much better. A clean up with the angle grinder and then 40 grit pads has prepped the surface for final gluing and riveting.
I created some dust making another pass at rust clean up on the bottom panels (underneath the spare tire area etc. I think I have taken the bulk of it as far as I can. Some final clean up with Marine Clean, a coat of POR15 and then a couple of coats of primer should do it...
I couldn't locate my rivets which put a bit of a damper on the progress. Tomorrow I am going to venture back out into the garage and do another pass to look for them. If I can't find them they will be my first Triumph purchase for 2012!! I am really not sure why they are not with the rest of my bodywork supplies?
I also decided this afternoon that I am going to order replacement fasteners for the front suspension.
