More progress on this rust removal and metal melting marathon. I tacked the floor in.

Maybe it's because of the huge task I have undertaken or because I explain how and why I do things. Once i have this back on the road then the fun doesn't stop the...

I used 10cm x 4cm x 3mm box section Didn't have any of that left so used some 10 x 5 x 6mm. Won't rot out in a hurry :lol: https://i.i...

Looks like this thread has turned into my blog. So much for a diy free zone, this vehicle will be coach built by me by the time I've finished :lol: Bit more fabrication progress. This is driver's side rear quarter panels where they meet the new wheel arch. I welded up the inner joints as much as I c...
