Started the day by Cutting out the Rust around the Windscreen Frame and attempting to make some replacement panels out of panel steel but had a mare as all my Snips have gone missing and was having a crap work day in general so decided to attack more simpler tasks

and decided to give my DSLR some much needed exercise.. (forgot about the poor girl)

Arty Farty photo of my Work Area


Welded up a small hole and then cleaned up and primed the Tunnel and then later heavy Undersealed it




Also Took some arty fart photos of my freshly powder coated items



And started installing my New Powerflex Bushes in to the Rear beam and the front Cross Member.

Nothing amazing has happened yet.

I don't really have the time,

Im more or less fortunate to have the space available for me to use at work..

the only day I really get to work on it is saturdays and 3 hours on a Tuesday night

other then that I work generally 6 Days a week so there isn't much time available I have had to give up a few other bits and peices

to make this (start to) happen!

I had something arrive in the Mail today that scared me a little bit...

[dubstar]

Those front cross member bushes are an absolute f**ker to fit. Be prepared for lots of swearing
