Progress. Welding with high amp and just touching the sheet metal seemed to work but took concentration

Very nice

A bit of sealant and paint. I think I'll add some tube steps and trees sliders so they stick out more. Probably gained 2" clearance over my old rock sliders.

Nice one, that was quick work...... !

Amazing what can be done when you push work to one side for a bit

lots of work going on here keep it up mate you should be proud of it

shame the door finish lowers the tone.

upside down welding lapping into old metal is always a challenge

is all good from here

JamesH · « **Reply #184 on:** May 03, 2014, 08:34:02 PM »

Ok, it's getting there. I've been doing lots of little jobs like winch cut-outs that take so much longer than expected.

A few pics of bits and pieces I've done.

Do you think exhaust sticks out enough for MOT? I read that it's supposed to be enough to ensure gases don't enter the passenger chamber. I may have read too many regs

dtooth · « **Reply #186 on:** May 03, 2014, 10:30:19 PM »

Looking good James, exhaust should be more than enough.

I've got to do mine waiting on the cherrybomb to as the slash cut tail pipe has melted the rear spring bush

JamesH · « **Reply #187 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:17:03 PM »

How it sits on the drive today. Still some bits to do but it basically works and is done for Breakout. After that a few events and then the next phase.

JamesH · « **Reply #188 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:21:26 PM »

Some more details will follow. The number plate is just for MOT and road use until I get a small or sticker one made.

It does deserve a polish and the sticky trim adhesive removing but in the list of priorities that has been pretty low

Dig the hoops. Where did you get the rubber boots?

Nice one......you been having a go with a bender?

gazjeep · « **Reply #196 on:** May 10, 2014, 10:24:55 AM »

Soo many comebacks ...... must resist

Back on topic, did the re-designed plates for the brake calipers fit without modding James ?

wildwood · « **Reply #197 on:** May 10, 2014, 10:27:48 AM »

Sorry bought that one......just had a clean start to the day...shower and all.

Have yet to engage smut mode

ARGHHH that's better.....normal service is resumed

gazjeep · « **Reply #198 on:** May 10, 2014, 12:34:39 PM »

It was slightly unfair of me Jez, before noon does not normally exist for hippies

Ramble on dude

JamesH · « **Reply #199 on:** May 10, 2014, 01:01:44 PM »

Warthog kindly made those for me, I'm yet to play with a bender

The brake caliper brackets were spot on after I'd given you the correct measurements

I'll do a bit of a write up on those when I get a chance to take some pics.
