Just few teasers for you to have a look at progress is getting there nicely drilling holes and assembling front subframe tonight.

The bulk head i have chosen to cut out as there used to be a webber box in there. i am just going to use a sheet of 1.5mm to seal it all back up.

Will add some more update after the weekend


Top do jobs include welding a fresh plate into the bulck head as well as welding up the hole cut out in the tunnel for the cage!!I also noticed that i cut too much out of the floor for the kit so i will weld back in some relevant sections to accomodate for the boo boo

Great photos, much bigger.

Gutted I cant get to mine this weekend as hove to go away for the weekend, good luck with yours.

I see you chopped out most of the forward bulkhead, probably made it easier to fit the frame and with some neat welding of a new bulkhead will probably look really good. I have to overcome the watertightness of that front bulkhead at some point, should be interesting.

[philly c]

yeah a good point i am not to sure how if at all to seal it as yet?i am just going to weld a new peice of plate in there to smarten things up as there used to be a huge hole for a webber box, will post more pics at a later date:)
