Re: Early Javelin Restoration
Work has also progressed with stripping the bodyshell & panels of many layers of paint - again the fruits of Peters hard work

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
Mean while - I have rebuilt the offside rear corner of the inner wing / bumper iron mounting Just the marked out section where the metal is quite thin to cut & replace then the bumper iron mounting can be redrilled / reattached

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
In turn this has highlighted several areas of concern Heavy rust pitting to the roof skin Extensive but poor use of lead loading to cover areas of rust & accident damage Poor attempts at repairing rust perferations - this is the lower section of the nearside front door and shall require the first 100mm to be cut out and new metal let in

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
Meanwhile back to the weldathon 
The tool tray upstand was thin to the leading edge had carried a couple of previous poor repairs The panel was sectioned and I cut / folded a new section - all that remained before welding it up was to replicate the swaging on the original panel With the help of a small jig that I made up - a section of broom handle and a suitable hammer with a little hammer & dolly work after this process I soon had something close to what was required

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
New end tabs were fabricated & fitted to the upstand panel prior to final welding of the panel Final fitting checks on the tool tray lid prior to welding everything up All complete - I used spot welds where I could in order to replicate the original factory welding process (although none of this is seen) - new captive nuts were fitted where required - these retain the boot floor which is a plywood panel

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
This is the lead loading that covers the join / seam between the rear panel and the rear wing shroud / support - it looks ok But its not - it has been bodged at some stage and the seam is rotting from the inside out

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
With the lead burnt off it can be seen that the seam has been gas welded together at some stage - not seen in the image is that the metal is thin / weak and has pinholes showing through effected area removed I made up two new sections by first folding the metal and then shrinking the edge to obtain the correct profile of the panel

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
The two sections were spot welded together off the car (the sections cannot be acessed by the spotwelder once fitted to the car) Clamped in place and ready for welding in

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
The smaller sections requiring welding were now attended to at the rear of the car This is the roof skin just under the centre of the rear window aperture Rust removed by shot blasting Welded in / cleaned up - most of the repairs shall be lead loaded in order to make good any panel deviation in the bodywork

Re: Early Javelin Restoration
This is the lower centre of the offside inner wing where it meets the support rail On closer inspection the support rail is holed through with rust although this localised to the upstand the bottom edge is solid
