Yeah just watched a cool YouTube vid on it thanksIf you get the right joggler tool it has a hole punch for spot welds
Can' do much on chassis until I get steel and diesel dogs opinion! Found another Little hole which is an easy plate however both suspension mount points need a bit. I got the lot coated then moved onto another task. I thought the arches were double skinned at first and complicated. I then realised it's just a patcwork quilt lol. I'll rip it out and replace as can't stand that bodginess!
silver is what's good
Oh dear, that looks interesting, will come and give a diagnosis tomorrow
I'm half happy to do that to be honest. I think it can be chopped and fitted then I'll get the outside arch kit. It' This chassis that bothers me. It seems solid behind spring cup but best to remove to check. There' a small hole on inner now there too. Wafer Thin! What I'm hoping is that the spring cup doesn't need chopping off to replace patch! I fear it may be tricky to get alignment right again if it's removed and re fitted.

Undo the top of the rear shock & jack up the chassis not the axle. Twist Spring out of bottom retainer & spring wil come out easy.
Front a bit harder.. undo top shock & remove turret then push shock down & jack chassis again
Chassis will sit on the bump stops.

I'm not expert mate hence thread title. Thankfully, as you can see, people are willing to help and advise. It' nice as you sometimes think that the favours trade and niceness is dying out nowadays! Yeah I think a lot is achievable with time, cash and patience lol. Ive just received my steel so will be cracking on with it shortly. Thanks
