190SL Undercarriage Restoration
Finally got around to making progress on the floor pans and lower firewalls.
Welding was done while the car was on jack stands on the floor to avoid distortion. Heat was not the problem but welding on you back with plug welds in the inverted position. While the car was on jack stands I built a trolley. This was rigged with two protrusions to one side clear of the body so as to provide a pivot point when rolling the body over its side. Next process is to complete the grinding, de-rusting and preparation for paint. Much easier than working under the car on your back.
Time now to attend to the right hand wheel well, which was previously badly repaired by plug welding rust holes. The lower portion was cut cut out. An new repair panel was fabricated complete with drain hole. This was butt welded an finished off by lead loading.
