Reattached the left rear inner fender to the rear closing panel. It had popped apart when
removing the outer fender panel.

Removed the door stays and refurbished. Used 914rubbers’ kit. I know some have had fitment issues regarding pin sizes. No problems noted with my set. The drivers side definitely needed attention. The plastic bushing was split and missing a good chunk.
No wonder it was always noisy.

Began work on the left rear suspension console repair. Finally @Tygaboy !
I picked up the necessary steel from Dave last week and began welding the steel
uprights to the left long. Dave came by this past weekend and brought his heavy duty drill bits & knowledge! Transferred the console bearing bolt hole locations onto 3/16” steel. This was the template. After measuring and locating. Holes were drilled into the
steel uprights as well as thru the steel bar stock. Dave was able to make at his work
some dowel pins. So the jig could be removed easily when it was time to remove spot welds from console.

After Dave gave me my instructions I went about welding up the platform to attach the
plates to console. This mother is not going anywhere. This assuring we will have proper location for the new console.

Nice work, Dion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Is the jig because you are removing the outer console to repair it? May be a dumb question, but that's a heck of a setup and I just wanted to make sure I understand it correctly.

Lots of progress! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Edit: yeah, looks like I posted too soon. Should have given you a chance to finish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Great work!

Now to tackle the inside portion. This part of the console is in worse shape than the bearing area. I was just going to do spot weld removal but also resorted to cutting wheel.
It was basically trash anyway.

Rob, yes it is to make sure I’m within spec when the replacement console is welded back on. Don’t want to be crabbing down the road. This gives a good shot to be in the ballpark of specs.

Measure, cut, replace, weld. Forgot to measure twice, left a little too much leeway. didn't account for cutting wheel either :-(
