Sill Welded in

All welded in!! Very happy. Next stop the floor! Got to say being able to tilt the chassis has made this job so much easier.

Sill Prep Update

Had some time today to carry on with the preparation work for the sill. Couple more jobs and I can start to drill all the holes for the sill and floor!

I also had time to make a bespoke repair which is one of the jobs I like the best.

It's nearly sill time

No I really mean it this time! I just need to finish off this small triangular hole next to the rear bulk head and I am going to start drilling the welding holes.

After that I need to weld in this section repair that might be a little challenging fitting into place. This repair below was one of the first that I made. Be great to get it in place after all these months. 

I just can't wait to get the sill and floor in! Certainly being able to tilt the chassis now has already made a difference. I think that I am getting about a a 70 to 75 degree tilt which is fine by me.

Part Tilt Midget

It has been so long since my last post, but sorting out our new house has taken priority. I have been itching to get into the lovely garage and in recent days I made a start on my new project of being able to tilt the chassis to make the welding easier.

As the photo's above show I made a mount out of 3mm steel that would bolt on to the engine stand and attach to the radiator uprights.

I then made a mount and attached it to the rear damper supports as shown below.

I then had to hope that the chassis would tilt...

Thankfully it did! It will tilt further but I didn't want to risk it on my first attempt. Hopefully I can find some more time to weld more panels in!
