had a nice parcel turnup at work yesterday 40mm dellorto's got a manifold on its way and have picked up a 5spd sierra box.

Was a good evening, here some pics i took

more rusty bits fixed up. got the strut top finished Had to remove the bonnet hinge to get rid of some more rust in the seams where 3 pieces over lapped. cut it out and butt welded the bottom layer so just one join to plug weld. Looks heaps tidier. new flitch panel made up and welded in. cut out the rusty bits from the heater bubble/fire wall. Also got rid of the recess in the firewall while i was at it. and now replaced nice clean firewall cheers Pete

Hi alex, yeah think the xflow will end up in this now, i want something a bit quicker in the 2door. This van would be one of the rustiest ive seen. Was all very well hidden with silicone and plates welded over top of rust.

some more rusty stuff rusty end of slam panel cut off new piece made welded in, cleaned up and zinc primer made up new slam panel end welded in and cleaned up just need to sort out the curvy front piece all welded back in nice and strong again bit more done on the floor pushed it outside to have a cleanup Back was all upholstered. It had wet and rotting pinkbats under the front carpets which caused the front floors to rust away and in all the cavities in the back. more rusty fun to follow

So i've been busy sorting more rusty bits. Rusty heater bubble Rusty lower crossmember cut the bad end off so i could repair it properly. Not much holding together here. started repairing lower crossmember. made this to replace this welded in removed radiator support to repair made this welded in cleaned up
