i had to do a whole floor for the same reasons, i couldn't and didn't want to fathom how my subframe was staying attached, thinking back now i wish i hadn't driven it so rough 

[ger]

Not a lot this time, but it turned into all w/e.

Took out some of the bracing for the front of the shell so it would be a bit easier to finish off welding the floor.

Just grinding down all the plugwelds on the floor and priming them.

 

 

Also made a start in putting in the seat crossmember.

Not a lot done this w/e but a lot of time doing it.

 

First off made a bracket that goes from the tunnel to the seat and primed that along with priming the small piece of metal from the lower dash.

 

Then made sure the companion bins were a snug fit. Marked the floors and drilled ready for plugwelding.

 

Then had a good hour in getting the lower dash to sit against the bulkhead and the flitch panels.

 

The dash was stripped back down and the holes were drilled in the flitch panels for the welds.

As I'm re-using the original dash front that'll be stripped to make sure that there's no rust and zinc primered.

 

The seat cross member is to go in next then I can make a start on the boot floor.

Top work loving seeing this one come together :)

A bit of an update for over the last 2 weeks.

 

Made a few more bits and pieces - two brackets for the handbrake.

 

Wiring loom tags for the new boot floor.

 

Also seat to tunnel bracket.

 

And while I was at it I thought I would put an interior light on the drivers side so I made a bracket for the additional light.

 

Not a lot but some pennys saved.

 

Done a bit more of the jigsaw just to make sure that everything fits.

 

A little more adjustment and prep for welding.

 

Stripped down the original dash rail and primered, ready for welding.

 

Last w/e a bit more welding done.

 

Only got the one companion bin done, but at least its progress.

A very productive w/e. Passenger companion bin welded in.

 

Seat x-member also done.

 

Welds ground down and primered

 

Lower dash parts now welded together and primed ready to be fitted.

 

 You can never have too many clamps.

Looking good. If I could go back to the start of doing mine I would have gotten a spit would of made everything easier. Looking forward to seeing this one finished

[Jase]

Lucky car. You are doing a fantastic job. Keep the pics coming.

I booked last Friday off to have a long w/e working on The Tart and look what turned up.... Oooooh.... The Tarts new arse.

 

 

Welded in the lower dash and finished off with a coat of primer.

 

 

On Saturday took her off the spit and put back on the trolley to cut out the rear ready for the boot floor.

 

 

And a bit of prep to the boot floor and rear arches ready to be fitted.

Some cracking work Ger!

I'm in the process of fitting a new arse to my 72 Clubman, it isn't half daunting cutting it off!
