I’ve spent most of this week patching a few bits on the chassis rails which need doing before I can put in the rear cross member and O/S jacking points in.
Starting with this beaut around the rear torsion tube.
A bit of rust treatment (Hydrate 80) before I put the repair in:
And all repaired and painted up (I also put some Epoxy mastic on the inside to help hold back the rust). Looking a lot better (I’ll come back to do the curved bit once I’ve got a bit more metal back in):
I’ll need to do the other side of that chassis rail too before the rear jacking points can go in.
I also patched up this hole at the front which didn’t need too much work:
Next week’s plan is to get the rear cross member in and hopefully some of the jacking points. I’ve got the floor support drilled ready for the cross member to go in. Things are progressing nicely!
