Cutting Rust

I got the parts I ordered about two weeks ago, but since I’ve started working, I haven’t been out in the shop. So tonight I went out and made a couple cuts. You know how I said that I’ve spent about half of what I’ll have to spend on sheet metal? Well, I forgot to multiply my total estimate by 3. The first chunk I cut out revealed some bad rust in the rocker, possibly extending into the edge of the pan.

This behind the right door. Rusty bit of tube holds the wiring harness from the engine compartment, up the the front of the car. You shouldn’t be able to see it, but rust has eaten everything around it.

This is the hunk I cut off, and a pile of rust and dirt that fell out.

This is behind the right rear fender. I have all the sheetmetal I need for this area I think.

Cutting wheels wear out really fast.
