Daze's Ph1.5 (Ph2 converted) DTurbo

[Dazecoop]

Well, yesterday was "the big first drive" for the car. 450 mile round trip in 1 day, done! She didn't miss a beat, was bombing along at 70-80 the entire time, spot on. What's more, after I filled up with fuel again, I calculated about 43mpg, which I'm pretty impressed with!

This was somewhere down the M1 at about 3.30am


Onto today, got the rust sorted on the passenger rear arch. It was a little worse than I originally thought, but nothing that my good mate Stu couldn't fix

Arrived


Passenger rear wheel off and the Ph3 arch liner removed


With all the interior panels removed, this was the extent of it


Ground back to decent metal


He then cut around it, plated, and did some welds


Done. Not the prettiest ever, but it does the job. With interior panels back in, no one will ever see this anyway


Sealed the welds up on both sides


Then underseal on both sides too, and most interior panels back in


Pretty happy with that. At least its sealed & done now, no more water inside the car & the Ph3 arch liner should help prevent anything happening like this again
