Passenger Chassis Longitudinal Repair - Part 1

Here's the first bit of repair to the Jack Stand area - just cutting out bad metal at this stage. I took a pic of the inside of the Long to get an idea of the condition. I was pleasantly surprised, they don't look too bad.

It's important to repair all rust to the main Long as this is a critical part of the car's strength. Rusty sections really compromise the car's stiffness, handling and safety basically...

So here's 'before' cutting out the Jack Post completely..

...and here's 'after'!

And some shots inside the Long itself to get an idea of the overall condition..pretty good, just alot of surface rust; but no obvious structural problems.
