things have progressed quite nicely sofar!
Lacaeon already posted a bit. but ill supplement it with a few more pics.
obviously i pulled the motor, borrowed Lacaeon's cherry picker and his smashed up wheel to use as a motor stand lol.
Got that out and started cutting out the nasty swiss chease metal in the engine bay. coated the inside of the frame rail with rust converter as best i could
bent a new piece to weld in
got it more or less welded in place, It still needs a little touch up/ strengthening, but its feeling pretty solid for now.
had to make a bracket for the corner because the metal that butts to the firewall was.... not so great for welding to.
(yes I know im a terrible welder, this bracket it prettymuch the first thing ive ever welded lol)
Lacaeon makin some sparks
than I got a little crazy with the grinder.
yay for fresh metal!!
heres the floorboard getting fitted before I welded it in place,
note the seat mount, the bottom was super rusty and basically came off with the floor pan, so I welded on a piece of angle bar to give it some strenght/something to attach it with.
its in!!!!.... more or less, it still needs a lot of work, and I havn't even started to get the frame rail in, but im not super worried about that... tho I probably should be.
after that pic the Dash came out along with that temporary support bar.
a little taste of things to come...
