Project "Scope Creep" 84 K5 Crawler

[92yamaha]

Welded a 1x1 square brace under the floor for the gas pump access panel.

Gas pump access panel. Will be held in by button-head stainless hardware. Just haven't drilled and tapped everything yet.

 

[92yamaha]

Just showing off some welds. New metal is always easier to weld than rusty s%#t, haha.

 

[livid4dirt]

Wow, you have done a ton of work. Great job for sticking with it !

 

[92yamaha]

Floor all cleaned up.

 

[92yamaha]

More rust to cut out

 

[92yamaha]

Welding in all the little replacement panels

 

[92yamaha]

Passenger floor progress. At this point, I'm just welding crap that happens to fit and really hoping for the best, haha

 

[92yamaha]

Wow, you have done a ton of work. Great job for sticking with it !

Thanks! It's been a lot of work.

Thanks! It's been a lot of work.

I believe it.

Also used a computer heat sink to reduce warping of the floor while welding (total nerd-boner that this worked so well).

I was about to ask if that's what the heat sink was for, but it took me a minute to figure it out. Good idea, I might steal that someday.

 

[Bent77]

Good to see some progress!

 

[92yamaha]

More updates. More panels. Yea, I get it, I suck at body work and welding sheet metal, haha.

 

[92yamaha]

Had to build a cage using 1x1 so I had something to weld the old seatbelt nut to (forgot to take that picture).

Also, seriously, don't drink and weld.

 

[92yamaha]

I WILL WIN against stubborn torx-head bots.

 

[92yamaha]

Self-leveling seam sealer from SEM is B.A.!

 

[92yamaha]

Decided to finally rubberize the rust repair on the driver side. Thought I'd be replacing the trim, then later decided that was dumb and looked like crap.

 

[92yamaha]

Finalizing more floor work.

 

[92yamaha]

I HATE non-factory door speakers. Cut out some panels to cover the holes, smoothed out all the screw holes, sealed, and primed. Then rubber coated everything once finished.

 

[92yamaha]

Just fixing some rust in the pillars.
