You've had some value out of the shrinker - the "bumper" looks great and the top edge has come out well.  Just the dreaded tail gate to go...

As for the item on the desk did it used to be Warby's BS valve?  If not should it be?

the "bumper" is actually a replacement rear valance that i'm making, the shrinker stretcher actually broke!! Shocked HOWEVER..... dad to the rescue again , the top lever had cracked through the pivot because of the pressure used to operate the jaws "poor design and cheap casting" anyway dad made a new top lever of his own design which is working far better than before, the valve is actually out of a ship!

Do you think that the shrinker could possibly be the answer to the valve problem?  Grin

didnt look that bad did it, but i can see you had a hell of alot of welding done too it!!, the last pictures you posted are presumably after sills and floors were done as thats pretty much how i had it with the yellow prima on the sills etc, thanks for taking the time to post them its interesting for me to see some of its history

4.5 inch grinder + sanding disks "lots of them!" shot blast any bits i cant sand, etch prima, anti stonechip paint and colour, the main secret with rust is to make sure no moisture can get to it, if its air tight / sealed it cant get anyworse, its best obviously to remove what you can 1st ,  the spare wheel well isnt as bad as what the floor/ deck area was and thats cleaned up fine , i will post as and when i get to that area  Roll Eyes , got alot on the next month, possibly bought another appia as a doner for the appia pickup, then i have to collect the new pickup, i'm also having to go and collect some other parts this weekend for another project (top secret hush hush ) so "THING"  is taking a back seat at the moment

Hi Chugga,

Your excellent work serves as an inspiration to anyone who's brave enough to tackle this kind of thing, particularly now as I'm trying to straighten out some old front-end accident damage on my Appia coupe'.  Roll Eyes

What kind of welder are you using please?  Make, model, & pricing might help me make decision about which one to buy.

Kindest regards,

hi the welder is quite old now , i was bought it by my parents for my 18th birthday and i'm now 35!! its called a MINI RAGE 142, its 160amp, i think aslong as you go for a reputable make with a high ish power you should get good results, 160 amp is about right as it will go low enough to weld thin metal and high enough for fairly heavy steel, huge welders ie 160 amp+ tend to blow holes in thin panels and smaller sets temd not to give good penitration, to be fair this welder has had some hammer over the years but still works perfectly as it was pretty exspensive in its day, hope this helps, good luck with your resto and how about some photo's on hear so we can see your work  Smiley
