Page two of our TR6 restoration.
Above you can see were we laid down the new sealer where it was
originally done at the factory. This of course is a paintable sealer so it
will all be body color when we are done.
Above is a little area of concern. It looks like a crack in
the metal but I suspect once we remove the paint we will find a small rust spot.
Here is another angle. The bad area appears to wrap around
the edge.
Something is becoming visible......
Plastic filler made up most of the corner. The driver's
side didn't show any cracking. But I had a suspicion......
Sure enough. The factory undercoated the wheel wells but
they just didn't get it up in all the nooks and crannies. The tires throw
up dirt and mud and it sits there holding moisture. Eventually this is the
result.
Above is the stripped engine block ready for cylinder boring.
