Thanks for the positive vibes chaps  Resto/mod? Don't know, will probably sell.. Well day 2 It's our 20th anniversary so I bought her some flowers and a card and dissapeared into the garage  Lip at front of floorpan replaced  Footwell closed  Sill closed and new flange for wing seal plate  The big patch  Pass side subframe mount, cleaned and some tin cut  Inner arch/bulkhead area is a tad holey, will probably chop all this area out next time.  No work tomorrow eve as i am taking daughter to see Maximo Park in Bristol 02 arena woohoo ;D ;D |

Tea going down well ;D Well Maximo park were ace but welder calls so tonight we bashed at it again.. If you're going to weld a bit you may as weld a lot!!   Left it at this tonight   Took longer to get the interior out than to weld it up!! Anyway what to look forward to.. Drivers chassis leg!  Axle stand now looks a bit dodgy Passengers floor   Guess the chassis leg under this will have a bit of surface rust ? Bought some red oxide today so can get some protection on it before it goes again! Ohhh the love of retros |

Smashing work there grunts. Its amazing how a little bit of welding quickly can turn into a brain-damage structural sort-out! Keep it up, you're doing some sterling work there.
