I’ve had to reschedule the shot blasting for Thursday as I’m still waiting for my new priming gun to arrive and didn’t want to leave the chassis in bare metal.
So I spent today making a start on removing the nearside outer and inner sill, and front top-hat, outriggers and cross member.
The outer sill came off first:
to reveal a second outer sill underneath. Some lazy sod had just welded the new one straight over the rusty old one:
With the outer sill off it’s clear the middle sill also needs some work:
Stripping the paint above the spot welds for the inner and middle sill to drill them out also revealed a few holes:
Outrigger and jacking point cut out to make access to the sill easier:
And started chopping the inner sill out:
Hopefully I’ll get the rest of the inner sill off tomorrow, and carry on with the front top hat section.
