passenger dog lower rot repair

Lower Nose

Don't know if I needed that many welds but the panel shouldn't come off for even in an accident.

Front Outer Valance

Inner valance has seam sealer applied.  Outer had holes drilled then plug welded.  Also flanged the old nose to fit the lower nose and sprayed some foam to fill empty wire holes.

Front Valance

Inner valance went in fairly easily.  The outer one is harder to line up to be correct at the left and right hand edges.

Inner Valance

The inner front valance fits behind, over and below the A Pillar repair panel. I welded on the valance first then the remaining piece of the A Pillar.

Lower B Pillar

I see some people weld the green pieces together and then attach it in one piece. I'm welding in each piece separately. I left some of the old metal and also welded on a tab so the welding would be stronger.

B Pillars

First thing is to figure out how these three pieces fit together.

Front Valance

Don't forget to order new lower A Pillars as these will probably be rotten too.
