A little more from this week.

The loom is now fixed in place through the front cross member (a real pain getting the welding torch into position doing this one, but looks ok!):

And onto the rear cross member, all clamped into place (I may’ve got carried away buying clamps as I’ve got a decent collection now):

And welded in (feel pretty comfortable with plug welds now):

Before I can get the Near side inner sill in there are a few bits of surrounding metal that need some attention (access would be tricky with the inner sill in):

Rot cut out, and inner sill clamped into place to give a reference point to work out where to bend the repair panel:

Repair panel made up in the vice (and checked against the replacement floor):

And all welded in (I’lll repair the bit in front of it at a later point, I’ll be able to do that bit with the sill in). Ignore the beautifully rotten middle sill in the last picture!:

Some further work on the underside this week.  O/S inner sill clamped into place with all jacking points and outriggers in position to make sure they’ll fit correctly (I also trial fitted the floor pan half while I was there):

Inner sill plug welded to all of the floor supports:

And a quick clean up and light coat of electrox over the welds:

And before I can weld in the rear cross member I need to fix this ‘repair’ done by a previous owner (the welding wass pretty rough and the patch was straight over the rusty section underneath):

Repairing the curved section around the rear beam will be interesting as the panel dips slightly as it reaches the beam. I’ll see what I can come up with over the weekend.
