Today I sanded down all of the areas in the engine bay where the panels join, and stitch welded them together. This should increase rigidity and make the car more stable. We will eventually do the entire car like this, but since the engine is out, it is the best time to complete the engine bay. These pictures are from halfway through the welding. I finished all of the area in the picture that are not welded.

There were also some rusted holes under the original battery tray. I removed the battery tray and will move the battery to the trunk. While I had the welder out, I also repaired the holes.

Tomorrow I plan on sanding the cleaning the engine bay, and then painting it matte black.
