When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I assume this one started out as a wagon Mick? What bracing did it need underneath?

Cheers,

yeah started as a wagon
had to put chassis connectors and triangulate the sills (steel plate from the bottom of inner sill up to floor) also had to fill (plate) the Y on the subframe and i think we also plated the kick panel area also

Guy I knew at Moonta did one in about 1990. It had RHS brace in the cab from above the front spring hanger to the firewall to subframe attaching bolts either side. You had to practically climb over to get in and out.
