Rust never sleeps so I didn't want to take a chance with the engine compartment. As shown before the batter apron was toast so I carefully removed it. 3 bolts a bunch of spot welds and lots of cutting and grinding and viola the old tray is gone!
There was also small traces of rust that had been forming on the radiator support. Once again I had to weigh the option of trying to repair spots against the cost of buying a new rad support and re and re'ing. New rad support won. Heck...i've got lots of money tied up in this thing. Whats another 120 bucks?
(spot weld cutter)Taking out the rad support was a lot more difficult than I had imagined.
Although these pictures look like they were done over a period of a few hours it's actually taking
me weeks. A busy work like and home life with the family only offers up a few hours of my own time to tackle this project. Nevertheless this is my choice for relaxing hobby.
All done. The rad support and battery apron are now off. Lets see what kind of things are rearing their ugly heads now that half the engine compartment is exposed.
