Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

[TitaniumTT]

Alright, time for the last of 3 major updates for a while....

I left off all pissed off at the amount of rot and what I had to cut out to make the repairs. Ridiculous amounts of garbage and pisspoor repairs from the PO's SO.

So after all was cut out that needed to be cut out, we started rebuilding the chassis.... scary I know... regardless, here is where we started..

The middle of the sammy was replaced and reenforced.



All buttoned up with a new base and bolts for the fenders.





This shows how much I had to cut out to get it all out. Crazy, Had to completely rebuild about half the seem. Strong as hell, sealed up nicely, I shouldn't have a problem with this chassis for a LONG time. Can't wait to do the same to the FD



Even the inner part wasn't safe from the rot. Although it is now.

Around the corner..... YES!

Lizard Skin Interior sound control... had a few issues spraying it, don't know why, worked great when we did Alex's.... I think it was too warm and too dry. Had been running the 80,000btu heater for 4 days @ 75*. Everything was dry, and hot, and REALLY dry. I think the LS was just too thick. Either way, it's over, done, and dry... WOOT!







And here's the new undercoating on top off all the new metal

One coat, covered REALLY well, didn't think a second was needed and I was REALLY anxious to get the tape off and make sure everything was still proper underneath. I like it, great base to start reassembly. A few things left to do and I can begin the reassembly. It'll prob be two weeks before I make any big progress after tomorrow, we're bringing Alex's car into the shop for paint. Still planning on having both @ Deals. Tomorrow's big goal.... er today's is to get the fuel cell squared away. Basically completed except for final welding/pressure test. I'm looking forward to it.





So I'm around the corner.... WOOOOOT!
