Hey Wayno nice metal work there mate to get the recess.
Can I ask if you recess so far does it effect the travel of your brake pedal, just wondering how much you have to mod inside.

Neil

its recessed about 85 mm
just misses handbrake and  gives enough travel for the pedal
it was all guesstimated ,  i got seriously lucky aswell

Nice work. You might look at reversing the steering shaft upper joint as well to reduce any binding.

no it wont help .they are the same both ways
i drove this car before .there was no binding .it worked well.
previous owner ground the knuckles to stop it binding.
i fixed that problem years ago.
probably just looks crap on the angle of the photo

Some more booster stuff.

Let's see if I can get it recessed this far

So finally back into it with the recessed booster idea.  Not sure how far I can get it in the firewall. But it will build itself. Here is today's effort.

good work!

All too common I’m afraid. I’ve used Selleys butyl mastic on those contact areas and make sure no dirt or moisture can get in there when it’s repaired and put back together. Used the small tech screws, extra ones to ensure the apron is sealed tight against the body. Then a coat of paint or two over it all. Better late than never.

i bought this car as a rust free (supposedly) car maybe 12 years ago .car is rust free still in common areas where they usually rust.
so was just surprised to find that rusted bolt so far gone when the whole car is virtually rust free still,the rust repairs youve seen are the only bad bits in the car.
im about to chop the right hand quarter panel off just to be sure

im still lost .are we talking about the pinchweld seal now?

whats an inner door seal look like?

i am blatantly stealing petes recessed booster idea..credits to you mate!

The ute has been on vacation for a while in a storage shed whilst other life things happening. It's finally home and time to get into it again. My old booster stuck out and looked stupid so Im trying to recess the booster right inside the firewall.
So happy to be working on it again
