Looking mighty fine John!

 

As you said... "No updates only means rust is setting in !"

Not to far off the mark, but I.m afraid its rust setting in on me, I had a major fall doing some cleaning up after some renovations at home and almost sliced open my jugular while causing a back injury.

 

I am on the mend and will be back on the tools as soon as possible.

 

Cheers

Really horrible to hear about your accident John!

I did wonder if something had happened as your update schedule has been so frequent.

 

 

I really hope that you are on the road to healing and you take it easy...

Hopefully your back will heal and you can get "back on the horse" quickly.

 

 

Have a nice weekend and take care!

Nice to see you back at it again! I highly recommend making a closing plate for that notched frame-rail. Otherwise, that structure and material is doing next to nothing for you.

 

Here's a detailed engineering drawing:

Thought about that Leon but it is heavily reinforced internally

Another day of fabrication removing the remaining tunnel section and fabricating a new cross support.

 

After centering all up I realized that the entire sections are not symmetrical and are off some 15mm to the passenger side, meaning the drivers foot well and gearshift position are 15mm more to the left.

 

All good, I’m having new custom pans cut, bent and pressed which should be ready this week.

 

Happy to report, no exploding cutting discs and flying metal this week.

 

 Cheers

Well that’s it for the weekend

Ran out of gas as I was finishing off the gussets in the rail floor pan cross member

Managed to weld in the ladder chassis pick up bolts, close the ends after reducing the deck height by 5mm and welding one gusset in

 

All in all, extremely happy with the progress

Well that’s the second rail in and blended front and rear into the body along with the (What I’m calling) tunnel horse shoe with ladder chassis bolt points

 

Now for the pans which are almost ready to pick up along with some additional weld clean ups

 

cheers
