Re: Escort Bm Hybrid
It's looking mightily rude.
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.

Re: Escort Bm Hybrid
Bit more done, started attacking the N/S
Started off by removing some of the excess crap.
this left me with a gap, but I Have started seaming that up, but my welder wants a service as its slipping.
Last of the BM floor pan folded over to double skin the joint.
Made a good start on the lower rear corner, I ended up cutting the corner off, making it on the bench, then offering it back to the car in 1 piece, its not quite done yet, but strong enough that I can finnish cutting the rot out of it.
I tacked a piece of bar to the sill so I can get the line for the rear closer.
Closer finnished off, and the bottom of the inner sill made ready to start building the outer.
And lastly lower outer inner cill closed.

Re: Escort Bm Hybrid
some more done today
You can see the crappy repair, where someone had welded a sill over a sill over a sill over a sill, so further down the pics you can see where I cut this out and replicated the line.
Line cut out and replicated
Easier to trim the car than it is trim the repair section.
Hole trimmed back and repair section filed back so it's a nice tight fit for but welding, handy having some old magnets to hold it in place, keeps the panel nice and straight too.
Keeping it the same as the other side, I had to get rid of this crap trap, you can also see the gap between the car and the inner tub, I'll chop out a bit more of the car and make a repair section for here to.
Sorted
Trial fit of the arch to make sure the car is the right shape, the front half of the arch is fine, but the rear is gonna need to be pulled about a bit before I make the inner.
