I forgot about the battery box hole! Probably willful self-delusion. Let us build a battery box!
The pit of despair.
10.5 by 7.5 inches. I will go up 4 inches on the side so that there is un-rusted metal for me to weld to. Here is what I cut out. I then proceeded to the bending tool. It is coming in handy.
After bending, a test fit. Not bad!
All welded up and drilled for installation. The bent piece goes in the back.
Success! I will repaint everything later...just trying to keep it from rusting. All told, about two hours work, and I think it will work just fine.
Now what to do about this? I could probably patch up the front and make it useable, but I don't think I could get rid of all of the little rust holes. Maybe I don't. If someone raises it, then they will see it is genuine fiat! What do y'all think?
