The N/S front wheel tub needed a fair bit of work but it was very salvageable. First up I made a new seat mount as the old one was toast: Then the Schofield’s seat belt mount repair went in: A fair bit of the tub needed cutting out to repair it properly: Then spend hours […]
Started chopping out the rot on the N/S wheel tub. It’ll need a new seat belt mount, a large repair to the area under the runner and I’ll need to make up a new seat runner as this one is toast.
Pulled a ridiculously long day today getting the N/S front arch in. Miles better than what was there, it did put up quite a fight though!
N/S bulkhead repairs all finished. I can start looking at fitting the front arch that side now.
Too hot for welding today so made some more repair panels up and epoxied the insides of them.
Next bit of the bulkhead repaired. I only had to use a sliver of the Schofields bulge repair panel as most of the bulge was fine. Some of the welds need some further dressing yet: And I epoxied all of the bits that I zinc primed the other night:
Not much to show this week but progressing still. I’ve started closing up the bulkhead and B pillar on the N/S, working my way down the area. I’ve only repaired the bits that sit above the wheel tub and then a small bit beneath it thus far: The cab floor repair pieces arrived this week […]
Not much progress over the weekend due to my sore throat, but I did get the N/S inner and outer front arch welded together.
I have a bit of a sore throat at the moment so to avoid chucking up loads of dust I prepped both inner and outer front arches for welding. Plug weld holes punched and weld-through primer along the weld points.
Removed the windscreen after the trial fit and removed the sliding door window to avoid getting grinding sparks embedded in it. Spent some time getting the door gaps for the sliding door and cab door to the point where I’m happy with them. This should do nicely for us: Making a start on the bulkhead […]
