Ok, so the first photos of the boot floor......
And a sorted inner wing. Only 1 patch to it thankfully as in Stu's photos above. Got it all seam sealed and primed this afternoon. Just finished putting a coat of top on.
Body mounts are now bolted to the chassis - fairly ok, a little swearing and hi-lift action and it was sorted :blabla: It will be drivable tomorrow!!!!!!!!
After Tuesday's meet at Tolgate, I'll rip up the boot floor and sort that hopefully for the weekend, depending on work Then it'll be onto the other sill :doh:

Go for it. It is simple to do - just fiddly and frustrating. Just mine has taken so long as I've done a day here and a few hours there.... If I'd have spent 3 days in the shop at work, I could have done everything a lot quicker.

I'm considering letting mine rust so I can justify cutting the backend off next summer and making it into a Trayback.

If you pop it round here and park next to mine, it'll spread like chlamydia
And stu will be more than happy to cut your back off with his favourite toy.....

Alll this welding going on looks like I'm going to get my front dumb irons and hole in passenger outrigger sorted, might have to have a chat with you matt next time we meet as it's been a while since I did any welding
Chris defo go for the tray back that would look the nuts mate
