Michelko, very nice work. I am jealous. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Do you know who made the outer suspension console or is that one of the pieces that you bought off of ebay? I need one and I did not know they were available new. After seeing your posted pictures I checked on a few websites but I could only find the inner suspension console ear. |

The "outer" console or bracket if you've gone through the thread you'll see what Michelko has done. He took off the old one sandblsted it, primed it 'n' WHALA new piece!!! So Michelko, did you just regular (grey) prime the various pieces? Then the black stuff that looks like POR 15 is really welding primer on top of regular primer???
Thanks, keep it up, the next major piece I assume is the "ear"? Looking forward to it!!! |

Hi, batac is right. The console is the old one, sandblasted, etc. The welding primer is NOT painted over the other primer. That should not work. under the welding primer is clean metal, so there is no sputtering during the welding. Again, first rule for welding :clean surfaces!!! I also haven´t a supplier for the outer console. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Oops, I guess that I have not been following this thread closely enough. Thanks guys. I will now follow that example myself and repair the old one off the car. Great inspiration.

But i used the smal "dremel" Cutting wheels. I think they are less then one mm thick. I am also looking for an new quarter panel, to replace the whole thing. Till then, the old one should work fine.
