Repairs

Please bare in mind i am not a professional bodywork specialist but do have abit of experience in the field through the grand tour but i thought i would do a little post of a few repairs ive done for a fellow supra owner, as these cars are hitting the 30year mark its definitely worth tackling rust before it gets bad. Heres a few photos of a few bits i did such as

repair rear quarter inner and outer skin

blank rear wiper

blank rear wiper jet

blank aerial

blank indicators in the wings

still work to be done to finish and make things perfect and shape the arch a little more but nothing that will take a few hours. Now onto the sills to sort those and ali repair and fill the bonnet vents that were put in by a previous owner . However considering all we had at the time was a grinder with a cutting disc, some scrap plate and a welder i dont think it went too bad haha!

Nice repairs. I've done some fresh plate into my 1965 Mustang which I was quite please how it turned out seeing I'm a NVQ Level 1 welder. 

The good thing is with metal, as we see in the many restoration programmes on TV, if the VIN plate is intact anything else can be fabricated around it to make it as good or better than when it left the factory.
