nice one Boab........looks just like mine
I'm off mine now till the new year till it gets warmer, missis got me doing painting and decorating and house jobs
I am off mine until jan now as well may get a few hours now n then but really waiting for some spare cash to buy some new shiny bits
It is yes and so is the cross tube turbine thing so I don't see how it could move but chassis repair is all new to me. There's a few threads here that really help including yours and project rusty and also a thread that I think has come to a halt! Reading ref your welder earlier - I have same one. I use .8 wire and will be maxing out on chassis power wise. I'm fine with the thin but will practice a bit more on thick. Kept sections I chopped to practice welding new to old. Yours has come a he'll of a long way. Awesome to see all the dirty buts turning red.

welded the rear quarter to the wheel arch......
view from inside.....
didn't get to take outside pic........
got a call to say mum got admitted to hospital.
Quick shove of everything away in garage..........got to hospital, shes ok in herself, but has a knackered aorta valve. ...and the one below
loadsa tests due next few days, and looks like they might replace the aorta valve by going in through the groin, but all depends if the lower valve will be able to take the pressure. fingers crossed .
........ and bugger me, while we were there visiting.......it pi$$ed down.........I guess all over my nice shiny welding.
But it brought a smile to myself as i thought 'CNUT' !!!!

Just reading this thread to give me inspiration to start my D1, I think I might have now been put off doing it lol.
Join the d1 conservation society. Spend all your spare on metal and cutting disks and shower in weld spatter. I do not believe any d1s that were not treated after purchase and haven't see a welder are rust free. Every thread of a d1 resto has same parts rotted!
I did most of my pillar with old arch still attached. I then chopped it off and mated up new to it. I don't really get the question but don't think it matters as long as your straight. Make sure you come outwards enough if that makes sense - check other side of car and you'll get an stick out measurement. My arch bit lined up perfectly with new pillar
