Into this...



And then welderised it up again....only I forgot to take a piccy of it finished so it didn't happen which is sad cause I don't want to spend tomorrow welding upsidedown AGAIN! :doh:
 
eventually got my bonnet open, nothing wrong with cable, but the release had got rather ****ty, so cleaned all that and lubricated it, re-routed bonnet cable slightly, cleaned under said bonnet after son had taken it playing at the local off road centre, cleaned the rest of the footwell out of mud!!!

No my 109.

Was intending to paint the welded section this morning but found a few more thin bits so thought I'd do a proper job rather than what was needed just to get a ticket....especially as she might be finding a new owner soon.









She feels good and solid now :) The rest of the chassis is really very good and I've been aware of those thin sections for a while now....feels good to have them done though I probably should've just patched the bottom that the inspector spotted and gone to get a ticket.

Spend some time with Pikey messing around with the ambulance engine as well, timed it up (was a fair way out) and adjusted the mixture and she's running a lot smoother and smoke free so fingers crossed thats emissions sorted.

Hopefully broken the back of the lighting issues with Mintys help as well...tomorrow will tell a fuller story.
