4.Cut away the bulk of the panel as necessary
using an air saw.
NOTE: On certain panel joints MIG welds and
braze should be removed using a sander where
possible, before cutting out the panel bulk.
5.Separate spot welded joints and remove panel
remnants using hammer, bolster chisel and
pincers.
Prepare old surfaces
1.Remove any remaining sealant using a hot air
gun to minimise the risk of toxic fumes caused
by heat generated during welding.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to avoid
excessive heat build-up when using the hot
air gun.2.Clean all panel joint edges to a bright smooth
finish, using a belt-type sander.
NOTE: As an alternative, a disc sander may be
used.
3.Straighten existing panel joint edges using a
shaping block and hammer.

PROCEDURES 77-2-19
3.Use a resistance spot welder where access
permits. Try to ensure weld quality by using a
welding monitor where possible.
4.MIG tack weld butt joints and re-check
alignment and panel contours where
necessary. Ensure that a gap is maintained to
minimise welding distortion, by inserting a
hacksaw blade as an approximate guide.5.Dress MIG tack welds using a sander with 36
grit disc, or a belt-type sander where access is
limited.
6.MIG seam weld butt joints.

PANEL REPAIRS
77-2-20 PROCEDURES
7.Always use MIG plug welds where excessive
metal thickness or limited access make
resistance spot welding impractical. Make plug
welds either by using holes left by the spot weld
cutter, or through holes punched and drilled for
the purpose.
8.Dress all welds using either a sander with 36
grit disc, or a belt-type sander and/or
impregnated wire brush.
NOTE: Brazing operations, if required, must be
carried out at this point.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND SEALING
77-4-8 CORROSION PREVENTION
After refitting mechanical components, including hoses and pipes and other fixtures, mask off the brake discs and
apply a coat of approved underbody wax.
NOTE: Where repairs include the application of finish paint coats in the areas requiring underbody wax, carry out paint
operations before applying wax.
Cavity wax injection
Areas treated with cavity wax are shown in the previous figures. After repairs, always re-treat these areas with an
approved cavity wax. In addition, treat all interior surfaces which have been disturbed during repairs whether they
have been treated in production or not. This includes all box members, cavities and door interiors. It is permissible to
drill extra holes for access where necessary, provided these are not positioned in load-bearing members. Ensure that
such holes are treated with a suitable zinc rich primer, brushed with wax and then sealed with a rubber grommet.
Before wax injection, ensure that the cavity to be treated is free from any contamination or foreign matter. Where
necessary, clear out any debris using compressed air.
Ensure that cavity wax is applied AFTER the final paint process and BEFORE refitting any trim components.
During application, ensure that the wax covers all flange and seam areas and that it is adequately applied to all
repaired areas of both new and existing panels.
It should be noted that new panel assemblies and complete body shells are supplied without wax injection treatment.
Ensure that such treatment is carried out after repairs.
Effective cavity wax protection is vital. Always observe the following points:
lComplete all paint refinish operations before wax application;
lClean body panel areas and blow-clean cavities if necessary, before treatment;
lMaintain a temperature of 18
° C (64° F) during application and drying;
lCheck the spray pattern of injection equipment;
lMask off all areas not to be wax coated and which could be contaminated by wax overspray;
lRemove body fixings, such as seat belt retractors, if contamination is at all likely;
lMove door glasses to fully closed position before treating door interiors;
lTreat body areas normally covered by trim before refitting items;
lCheck that body and door drain holes are clear after the protective wax has dried;
lKeep all equipment clean, especially wax injection nozzles.
Underbody wax
The underbody wax must be reinstated following all repairs affecting floor panels. The wax is applied over paints and
underbody sealers.
Remove old underbody wax completely from a zone extending at least 200 mm (7.874 in) beyond the area where new
underbody sealer is to be applied.
Engine bay wax
Reinstate all protective engine bay wax disturbed during repairs using an approved material.
Where repairs have involved replacement of engine bay panels, treat the entire engine compartment including all
components, clips and other fixtures with an approved underbonnet lacquer or wax.
