Happy new year too all, finally a quiet day after all the Chrissy/new year stuff over!

Just before Chrissy I had almost got this inner sill replacement finished, so today I got the last few bends sorted so it follows the body nicely, and got it partly welded in place, car feels solid again now lol!

This intersection will be where the roll bar joins the chassis, so should be a nice strong point

few more bits to tidy up then i'll do the same for the driver side then it will be almost time to start looking at getting the roll cage underway!

So after getting the passenger side inner sill in place it was time to start on the driver side, so I cut out all the old one and the rest of the floor, she's definitely Flintstones now

And this is the 5mm of bog on the driver side B pillar to cover up the awesome welding job of the new outer sill install....

I've started making the new inner sill piece, so hopefully in the next few days i'll get that in place, then only a few more bits to do then I can just about start working on the roll cage (once I buy some tube that is)

oh and fix the dodgy outer sill installs!

I still need to remove the outer sills, finish a few welds and such then put them back on properly, but I really just can't be fucked at the moment!

started looking at surge and fuel tank locations and starting to think about how I'm going to make a seat mount, whatever I decide on I want to put it in before the floors go in, so i'll probably do that sooner than later .... but for the moment its too hot and I am starting to think about beers

[HQ355]

The answer allways is more beer ! I'l have one for you now lol

[psyolent]

sammy you need more C clamps.
looking good mate.

unlike HQ i'll have a coffee. doesnt have the same ring to it though.

[HQ355]

Too hot for coffee !

[immortality]

I had a hot cuppa too but I have a couple of beers here for anybody that wants to come and get em

Tomorrow I'm off to get a coffee from my favorite shop, been over 2 weeks since my last fix (could explain problem with fixing the car.....). Will have to have words with the proprietors about taking such a long time off.
