nice work again as b4 mate keep at it ,your doin a splendid job there

[wreckitralph]

thank you proress may slow a bit at the moment due to work and before welding i want to measure measure and measure again then offer up a bare subframe that i can bolt to the boot floor  rear mounts  and measure again haha  or make a jig that uses an unmolested  shell  just to be sure 

[wreckitralph]

once again if anyone sees anything amiss here shout out  ime making it up as i go so dont pretend to know what ime doing would rather alter things now when the floor ect is screwed in  than later 

[wreckitralph]

so i have to admit to having a bit of a panic with the build over the weekend   with the heelboard fitted i had a difference between left and right of 8 mm  i am using the fixed point of the subframe mounting bolt holes on the boot floor with a threaded bar  and two nut to lock it tight   with 200mm protruding below the floor each side  [ i know the tunnel is the right height as its tacked to the box section leg that was  welded to the old tunnel  ]  initially i thought i must have cocked up fitting the floor that maybe one side wasnt pushed in as far as the other  even tho the ends all butt up tight against the bulkhead and inner wings  [amazing what goes through your head]

the dreaded self doubt and the mental crusher    

so today i took the heelboard off and started measuring from the punched holes on the heritage floor /inner cill  to the end of the inner cill  and there were differences of 3 and  6 mm from 1 side to the other on the inner cill and that transfered to the return lip at the ends   that made me breath a sigh of releif to be honest because  it explained quite a lot and  i could take it into account when getting things square     so a bit of work with a hammer and doly straightening the return lip at the back of the  floor pan  then  knocking down some of the puckering in the metal where it goes up around the tunnel 

after around an hour measuring measuring then measuring again and writing everything down   i now have exactly the same both sides      pheeeew    i know the panels are only tec screwd in place but even so still a lot of potch to take it all apart and refit line up ect         so i guess in a long winded way what ime saying is even tho the panels are heritage   there are plenty of innacuracies   so check them guys
