Ta Da... ive done work on the estate...





Finally got the welder working and braced the front, its made it alot stronger so carred on drilling the spot welds and welded the passenger door shut.

Need to removed the front subframe to get to some more spot welds on the inner wings and then i can start working on cleaning the front end up, getting paint on it and then welding the panels on... woo progress

[mini93]

looking god chris, will feel great when you start welding bits back

[Sprocket]

I see you have used the nic name I gave it

Looking good mate, soon be getting a sun tan from that welder

[Jackman]

Yeah i used its nick name mate.. it needs it too.

Montly update... or so it seems at the moment... im hoping to get alot more progress now the show season is comign to an end.

Today was a busy day... i removed the front subby, finished the spot weld drilling on the front... well near enough and removed more metal... now im upto the job of cleaning the surface rust up... o the joys and working out how to remove some more metal... not worked it out yet.









Also this is the crease in the front end panel... it looks like its took quite a hard hit in the past.



Now solid mounted front too
