Whilst the car is on its side and the floor is in place I need to put back the plate that the rubber bump stop on the suspension is designed to hit.
Both of them were very dirty and a little bit rusty, so I set about to clean them up with my assortment of wire brushes.
They came up quite good and certainly good enough for another few years. They just needed some protection so I coated them in a couple of layers of rust converter.
I'll paint the insides with chassis black paint before welding them back on.
The only trouble real I had was that in order to attach these to the floor you need this bracket and one of them was totally destroyed by rust.
This one will be ok once cleaned up but I need to make a new one.
