Ready for weldage... Which I shall be attempting later today...

Click to expand...

bleedy hell Clanky

tha's nearly got some Disco left in between them holes

Update... New floor sides welded in, chassis cleaned off, fertanned and hammerited, and rusted fuel pipes replaced with 8mm copper microbore.





So my welding ain't gonna win any awards, but it'll do... Seam sealant covers a multitude, anyhow

Next... Weld floor in, clean old seam sealant out of joints near arches, fertan or hammerite any rust, patch holes in arches....

New floor is in....



Don't laugh at my welding!! Besides, seam sealant covers a multitude of sins...

Arches and sills welded up:

All painted... Hammerite up the yin-yang, plus a topcoat or two of Halfords truck bed paint... Good grippy stuff.



I also temporarily refitted the towbar, and captive-welded the nuts in place on the chassis and towbar itself... Can now remove it in less than 2 mins with one spanner without having to strip the bumper off... Also planning to fabricate an HD recovery point to bolt to the chassis in place of the towbar.

Next, I'm going to put both electrics sockets in the bumper...
