I spent about nine nights lying on my back. My neck and shoulders are still aching but finally I think I've come through the worst of it. Not the swine flu but preparing the underside of the floor for painting. I wasted hours with angle grinder and every other scraping device I could imagine. I have used 0.8 mm string in my welder. Now I understand why someone adviced me that 0.6 mm would be enough. The reason is, the thicker the string, more to grind. I'll have to remember this prior to starting with my next project.
In the above picture is a view to transmission crossmember and propeller shaft tunnel. Some remainders of seam weld between the tunnel and floorpan can be seen. The flaps which connect the frame rails with reinforcement pans are not alike with each other. But WHO CARES as long as they are solid. Below is a shot to passenger rear wheel well and rear crossmember. This was the nasties area for grinding. My advice to anyone who is clearing this area: Have it media blasted !
The areas under the rear seat. Yes, I made them myself ! They may not be alike either but at least the rear seat passengers do not have to fear for dropping on the highway.
You may say that you've seen better. So have I. But...
... it is very rare to see something like this anymore. Yak !
