PS inner repair in process

[Literati914]

^ frustrating, when I use the forums 'attachment' buttons for pics, they get turned in all kinds of directions - is there something I can do to fix this?

If your using your phone before uploading just go to edit your picture on the phone and just make some silly edit and that will be all that is needed to ensure they post correctly.

GAWD !! Can’t make 1 single pics post as it should… as it is on my phone. The attachment feature here kinda sucks I guess! Twists photos at its whim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) and the host I use will not make the photo any larger than a thumbnail, so my apologies for the viewing angles. Maybe it’s the apple phone as I never had this issue with my android, just sayin’.

PS inner firewall repair, completed

The outside passengers firewall panel I made up from the remainder of the PS inner firewall:

Received a couple more items from RD, time to finish the firewalls.

So next up.. the driver’s side inner. This time I popped holes around the perimeter for spot welds, with a convenient air tool I forgot I had (harbor freight). Before proceeding I needed to separate the ebrake tube from inner and outer firewalls:

[Literati914]

Drivers side inner wall with holes ready to be welded.. this is actually and over-lay or a second skin for most of this wall as only the bottom of the original was bad. I figured why not use the entire piece, since some people buy ‘reinforcement’ panels and over lay anyway.

[Literati914]

The rear DS wall repair was more complicated, needed to do it in a couple of sections. Here’s the first part.

[Literati914]

Here you can see where the original ebrake tubes are reinstalled and to get this to happen I kind of had to install the front and rear firewall at the same time on the drivers side.

…I’ll go back and dress the weld and make things look better later..

Ok so I’ve realized that when I retacked the clutch tube in place, that it was not in the right place.. it’s too far inward and not sticking out into the engine compartment enough. There is a bracket midways thru the tunnel that has broken loose and I will need to repair. I can see a brass ring around the clutch tube where it should meet the firewall (see the arrow in the pic). I will repair the inner tunnel bracket later. So ive cut the FW around the clutch tube, cleaned up the tube and will be correcting the tubes placement. Glad to do this cause those welds around the tube were kinda crappy looking.

…tube released

.. and cleaned

And a shot showing the remaining gap that needs filling on the firewall.

[Literati914]

Fabricated a panel and tacked it in.. in this pic the clutch tube is loose in its hole so it can be adjusted outward later.

Spitz called himself helping, but honestly didn’t really do much… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
