General mechanics apprenticeship so he's a while to go on the whole thing but is already doing all the garages welding it seems

I think they do to be fair :thumb2 He's got another 2 months then his wages will double to UK minimum wage :clap
It's not a perfect system but then he has a job and prospects, so many of his mates are just signed on and nowhere to go
jobs are few and far between round here. we're all self employed :naughty

Got the last bit of the floor welded up this afternoon It's got a bit of rust cure on the wet looking bits.

A bit later on and the rust cure stuff has done it's work

Seam sealer now on and will be ready for paint tomorrow. Then I can put all the trim back in, fantastic

Love it when stuff starts to go back together :clap

Ah well yes. Some progress made but waiting for the bumper to come back from powder coating at the mo. Then fit the winch fairlead and work out the wiring loom etc

I'll grab some update pics for you laters

 

[makeitfit]

Not much of an update but I am reassembling at last :clap
New floor stone chip painted as I find it cheap and rufty tufty :thumbs
Floor timbers back in and bonded
Speaker gubbins still to sort , then I can get the plastic interior trims back on :sly

 

[Fez_uk]

Getting there jock.

How strong is that stone chip? Would it be good for floor pans or is there something better to use?

 

[makeitfit]

It's not that strong but fine for storage area like here.
What about that pick up truck liner paint.
