Well since my last post I have managed the odd day up the garage ably assisted by my mate Frank. First job was generally gutting the car of it's interior trim and welding up the rear floor area to give the structure some much needed strength.
Then to make a change from welding I er, welded in a new spare wheel well - lol
Next job on the list was to remove the offending pre crossflow as Frank wants to concentrate his efforts on cleaning up the engine bay
Found a few rotted out areas so attacked these and also welded up the heating vent holes as I want a tidy engine bay. Battery tray disappeared when 'caressed' with the angle grinder as battery will be living in the cavernous boot ;-)
Well that's all for now folks ;-)
