Done bit more tonight, hoping to get the welding done by the end of Sunday.
Welded in the harder side. Still got to finish it but ran out of energy, as did my phone so only 3 pics
Been working on a slight slope today
And for all of the cynics who think it's me twisting the camera to make it look better, look at the pole behind the trees to the top right.

Nice to see you welding in some fresh rust there Stu, It wouldn't be a Classic without a rusty floor :hysterically_laughi
The wife is of glamping with the cubs this weekend, so I may be able to pop up and see the Rangey tonight if you are around.

Ye, tank is empty and behind a steel sheet, seats get moved around as I go, working on the boot thus at the front. But I see your point.

Well today I did some more, sold some more and drank some more :tea:
Got all the newbits inplace, apart from the filler part.
Found a great way of clamping the two arches together
The outside is a lot stronger now.
Then onto the other side.
Took a cold chisel to the seam
Opened the seam enough to run the grinder down and cut most of the spot welds, then the chisel again to finish it off
Worked well and came apart easily. Drilled the rivets at the back and cut along the arch at the front and it was out.
Hmm old against nearly as old but going in
Then tacked the side in, couple of small breaks, lunch, visit from killajoules :tea: and some parts sold from the other rangy and tacked it in
Got a good line on the outside
More tomorrow

Getting on well there.. Laughed when I saw the wood clamp !? I had a bit jammed from one side to the other when I was welding the back of mine up. Versatile stuff is wood !
