I dont belive it!....

Well after hours and hours of cutting out rusty botches, getting covered in sparks from removing the remnants of old brazed sections-why is it the hottest sparks always land in your ears? -fabricating repair sections etc etc guess what!?.....the inner sill its tacked into position and to top it off the door still bloody fits! -so progress at last

Not quite so scary hole...

Photos show home made repair box section going in -it was lined up using my "sub frame jig",the welds need a clean up with the grinder and then its seam sealer,primer paint etc inside the box section

The inner sill clamps into position nicely,so next jobs are to clean up the A post area to allow the inner sill to be welded in, then the floors ,outriggers outer sill blah blah etc etc . It might just be ready for 2010 RBR!

Once I get the sill on I will be concentrating my time on preparing the "Taxi" for its 10CR trip

-this week I have mainly been in the shed after about 9.00pm for a couple of hours each evening,I have discovered a new trick if I make a couple of crash bangs in the shed around 9.50pm it sets off a neighbours dog barking for about an hour or so -which then gives me the ideal cover to carry on with noisy jobs!
