Barney’s Verona red Baur refresh

[jimk]

Spatter is different from splatter.  Splatter is seen more around barnyards.

Worked Saturday and today on finishing lower driver side and roughly fit front fender…cut out and started repairing passenger side floors…

 

 

first patch is a place that Rust uniquely on a Baur there’s an extra brace that catches water when it leaks in from the top..

This is sick! By the time I pour coolant in my radiator you already have the floor boards replaced! I just want to cry.

Hey Barney, loving following this thread... but just wondering about the sill (rocker) replacement...did you add the full-length box section to that inner plate?

No work on Wednesday again this week …today I spend about six hours fitting this front passenger side floor repair panel.

It’s Friday, I finished up welding in the front passenger side repair panel and fit the rear passenger side panel, but did not install it as I’m using that space to stand in while working on the other quadrants of floor repair. Pictures of small repair under rear seat…

It's amazing to watch your process...thanks for sharing the journey with us all.

I made a road trip with a couple of 2002 guys up to Waco to meet up with the Dallas bunch… Looks like no work Saturday or Sunday.

 

Pictures of the next patch I plan to start on Monday…

patches at deleted, side lights…

  Worked on cutting out repair panel and fitting…I cut the repair panel an inch larger each way screw it down and mark with a point from below, and then final fit.

Nice progress👍

 

I find it very difficult to fill a gap on thin metal like using those clamp things makes you do. By making the patch 1mm larger than the hole and chamfering edges, like this   ....//¨¨¨¨ , I can use more current and get better joint. Ever tried that Barney?

I guess you could still make wider slots for the clamps, somebody uses magnets.

I remember seeing the Baurs and convertibles at Jaymics workshop in the UK in the mid 80’s when Mike showed me around (such a nice guy made time to talk and show me around) the damage from the crap drainage and salty UK roads was staggering, never seen so many braces as much of the cars structure had to be removed, but just like Barney’s bit by bit they came back together, love watching this progress. Thanks for posting all the pics!!

Tommy on large gaps I use a piece of copper held  in place by super magnets to back up the gap while welding…

That's a good trick too.
