It was somewhat depressing to learn today, when peering under the bonnet of my mates HQ Statesman, that an engine of near double capacity (ie a SB chev) is about 200mm narrower than this donk. Todays Fun fact.

my grinder bit and swung around and fully slapped my arm. It took 3 weeks for the purple to go away. Note to self, pay attention...

most of the framing mods on the body complete, a little more steel required around the top then will make engine cover accordingly. Probably way later on though.

There are some horrible shit traps under the camper body, places where stones and shit just collects en-masse. It actually is corroding the ally from the inside - galvanic shit. I reckon I dug/blew about 5kg of shit out. This will all get painted, then soft-seal, then Ill bend up some ally flashing and glue in place to stop it happening any more.
