Project/workshop - Trolol

[spinna]

I don't know ha, There was some nasty confined spaces so parts the welding is a little sloppy.

Tell me about it I have had some right tricky areas to get at but I believe I have completed the welding on mine now so as soon as I have some spare cash ill be booking her in for an mot

Something like that would be more practical, still could be potentially on the cards.

Is that exterior roll cage a kin of Alex's bumpers? :lol

Over the last few days I've had spare (Had to prepare the mavericks MOT stuff).

Today after measuring and marking the back panel I tacked in in place.

What do you get if you join the dots?............bird, aeroplane or a dog?:lol.
Jokes aside that looks good mate:thumb2.

 

[exosteve]

looks slightly out?
looks like it should of been about 5mm lower on the passenger side:nenau

otherwise that looks like a very neat cut of steel mate:thumb2

 

[Fez_uk]

Thats just the sheet of steel which was slightly out, The area in the middle will be filled with body filler and smoothed.

It's coming on well lately, mainly because the lack of cash to splash doing other things ha

Should have it all welded in tomorrow. Need some more metal for the arches, But I ow the blacksmith money so can't go get more yet

Next stage after the back is to focus on repairing the rear chassis and shock mounts.

I know that feeling mate (cash flow) that's why mine was off the road for as long as it was. Your doing a great job. I can't wait to come and see it again.

:naughty:naughty:naughty

 

[Fez_uk]

top roof is now welded to the back panel. Still needs some filler and hand sanding to make it perfect but for now it's got primer on it all to stop it rusting.

 

[makeitfit]

Like the look of that boyo, but remember primer isn't waterproof

 

[exosteve]

Wish I could come one weekend to have a looksy.
Maybe book an overnight bnb

It's only for when it's in the shed to slow rust, Will have a proper paint job when all the jobs on the body and chassis are done.

Next job is chassis, but ow the blacksmith a few quid. :naughty

Started on the rear chassis work (this took about 2 hours) Welder is playing up a bit (might think about getting a new one before I work on the cage).
