Bought a pile of rusty pop-out frames from the DOVW swap meet the other weekend as I would rather try repair originals then buy repo frames. Some would have looked at these frames and thought they were all beyond repair. Just proves that one mans trash is another's treasure...

After studying the many rusted frames, I came up with an idea on how I could make these work for me. I will let the pics do the talking. Pretty happy with how the repairs are turning out.

So far I have managed to make 2 complete frames and I am confident I have enough good sections to make another 2 solid frames. A lot of work but it satisfies me resurrecting original parts for my build...

Very nice. I have a few sets of rotten frames too, might need to steal that technique.

Well, it’s finally time to bring my split out of hibernation and get to work... it is full of parts at the moment so first up I will be spending some time cleaning it out and sorting stuff out.
