RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Rust galore! - Niall - 23-04-2015
Wow that is bad. I had my passengers sill trim off the car last winter and it was absolutely spot on under there. There must of been some sort of damage there on yours previous!
Scared to take my drivers sill off now!

Yeah man, not what I wanted to see when I was at the stage ready to insure it again lol.
At least by fixing it properly first time I should never have rust issues again on this car, once the outer sill repair is finished I'll be pumping both sides full of waxoil

Yeah man, where the worst rust was you could just about make out a square hole like the head of an axle stand or something.
Same on matts rallye too by the looks

Just arrived at the unit for round 2
Masking off the entire side first thing, welding splatter on paintwork is a definite do not want lol
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Rust galore! - ozonehostile - 25-04-2015
Sealed all yesterday's inner sill repairs with zinc primer then a good coat of waxoil on top

My old man came over for a look and unlike the first patch where it was plated he talked me into welding it butt to butt with the original sill glad it was done now as it looks great and less chance of it rusting again since the biggest repair is flush with the original. Ground it a bit thin on top of the first patch that will need touching up with the mig again and some work to do on the door shut but it's almost there

Need to pick up a can of the original waxoil and an applicator gun then fill up the sill on both sides for extra future proofing.
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding in process - ozonehostile - 01-05-2015
She's finished!
Did the final stretch of welding this morning with help from my mate at jamtech motorsport and my old man. All solid again, just need to stock up on some paint and bodywork items to get it all sealed and painted on Saturday.
Anyway, the finished product

This bit was the hardest right up by the fuel tank elbow and return pipe and the metal was only about 0.5mm thick, having to deal with this as well as bridging a 5mm gap between the inner sill and the outer with barely enough space to get the welding torch in there

Outer sill final plate cut to shape and best for a perfect repair

I'll seam seal it all, underseal and paint tomorrow, then skirts will be reattached with some nice flush fitting nutserts for easy removal in the future
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding in process - Piggy - 01-05-2015
well done fella.
Glad you didnt scrap her, she looks ace when she's clean and all.
Good effort

Yeah man, I looked at what's for sale at the moment and tbh couldn't find anything better than what I already had so definitely worth spending the £100 or so on repair supplies.
And since I have the welder all set up nicely I'm looking at my little rallye tucked up in the corner.....
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding in process - Niall - 01-05-2015
Glad you repaired this. Too many people scrap them and they are getting rarer and rarer. Plus it would be a shame to scrap a mint one!
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding in process - Piggy - 01-05-2015
good lad, get on that rallye asap. I want a go!
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding in process - procta - 01-05-2015
crackin repair job! at least you can still get the panels and donor sills, unlike mine sadly. I had a right f*ck on trying to get the repair panel for the sill.
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding in process - bashbarnard - 02-05-2015
Good to see its not scrapped due to tin worm. So many people now see rust and get another one. Its a shame.

Now that the 306 is getting on a bit and had time to start rusting in weak areas I'm sure I won't be the last person having to do major repairs to keep them on the road.
When they made 306 shells the entire side of the car is one piece spot welded along the roof and folded into the inner sill and pressed together at the bottom so they never made replacement panels for things like outer sills which is probably going to finish off alot of cars in the next few years
I luckily have a good network of engineering type people who were able to make me a sill repair panel from scratch
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - Dum-Dum - 03-05-2015
The bonus of having a spare car or 2, can spend proper time on fixing the broken ones.
Hope you start the 106 rallye soon.
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - 7057sam - 03-05-2015
Well done mate,looks great
Now do I dare take the skirts off mine.....
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - ozonehostile - 03-05-2015
Managed to get in a full day doing all the time consuming parts of finishing off the repair job today:
First up I sanded Down all the visible parts in the door shut and filled the weld to get the finish as smooth as possible, little
bit of distortion where it's been welded but that can't be helped.
Applied a bead of seam sealer to all the lines of weld just for extra future proofing

Matt came over for a bit and gave me a hand masking off the side of the car and the first decent layer of primer on

My new favourite toy, nutserts!
Figured for future side skirt removal these are ideal, got a load of m5 stainless cap heads and washers so should look good when fitted too.

Need to find some panel wipe from somewhere tomorrow morning and then put a coat of nile blue on then get the skirts back on both sides with the new and improved quick release setup
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - Piggy - 03-05-2015
Oh damn! I'd love one of that tools!!!

I would haha, better to know if there's anything lurking under there before its irreparable.
Hopefully nothing though, cracked skirts on the underside seem to be the tell tale sign that it's been jacked incorrectly

Sorry i couldnt stay longer dude but was good to have a catchup with yourself and the '6
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - ozonehostile - 04-05-2015
Finally got around to pressing the powerflex bump stops into my new cups from spoox, probably won't make any difference at all but at least they'll look pretty under the car

Matt came over again with his paint expertise and got some colour onto the repaired sill, going to need a lot of wet sanding before I'm happy but worth it in the long run hopefully

RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - Dum-Dum - 05-05-2015
Not sure I'd be too worried about how perfect the colour is if it's going to be hidden behind the skirt.

Aha I did think about just painting it black kind of like a ph1 with the two tone side skirts but then thought if it's worth repairing may aswell do it properly, I want it to look like it's never had any work done on the sill.
Probably not going to be perfect with Rattle cans but good enough for a part you're not even going to see
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - Matt-Rallye - 05-05-2015
306 & 106 rallye next for the welder i believe sir
you need to hurry up and get a better job so your free in the evenings and buy a megane... all the best people have them i hear
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - Orta - 06-05-2015
That looks a fair decent job mate. Good to see the '6 in one piece so it'll be @ FCS. Unlike sum other 306s from Hereford !

Ahaha, well it's becoming a joint effort of sorts now to make sure at least the one Xu10 powered 306 makes it from the shire
RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - Matt - 06-05-2015
Good work on that sill! And I love the new quick release setup you have going.
Also can't wait for your rallye to be back

Basically mine needs all the prep we did to yours when you bought it last year

RE: Ozonehostile Blurple gti6. Welding complete! - ozonehostile - 12-05-2015
I've had a rallye aux setup sat in a box for over a year now that I have yet to fix so made a start on getting all the broken aircon components out and cleaning the engine bay as I go.
The rad will be replaced with a new alloy one, slimline fans to get rid of the heavy oem ones and I might make a bracket for my oil cooler.
Using the left over nile blue paint to clean up some flakey paint on the inner wings and bulkhead
