Thanks Brett
Measure twice cut once is my motto. Im sure I could be further ahead but its still too darn cold to be rolling around on the factory floor here in Melb.
Hopefully we'll get some warmer days soon. Then I'll start to make some progress.

Thanks mate. Its been a bit more than I expected. Once everything was blasted there was plenty of rust. At least inner and outer sills were good! Couple of little patches at the front outers but otherwise all nice and solid. I'll pump them full of fish oil when ive finished. Wish I had have dipped ...

Thanks for all the advice lads. Appreciate it. Just going with what the engineer says. Looks ok for a trial fit up

I've just been talking to my engineer. A mate who I play cricket with. He is ex Vic Roads and now has his own business modifying cars for people with disability. He has told me for engineering he wants lap welds for the floors. Apparently much stronger. I can flange them in if I like ...

Hi Clay
I am confused over the join at the b pillar. My car appears to have what looks like factory oxy welds around the base of the B pillar where it meets the floor. The rare pans have the upturned edge all along that B pillar area. Are you able to confirm if the factory was oxy welded around the ...

Actually when the light is under it there are pin holes all over the RHS. LHS just needs the outer bit only about 4 inches wide. The guy left it sitting outside full of water. I have had it dry stored since 2012 but the damage was already done by then. both chassis out riggers are shot at the sill ...

I use Tapatalk app on my phone so can’t help with computer stuff. You could try Tapatalk even if only to directly load up images from your phone and use computer otherwise.

Yes I wouldn’t go ripping the sills off unless rust starts coming through. If you do most of your welding on the floor from ...

Trying to post some floor pics but it keeps saying the image is invalid?

To be honest im happy with inner and outer sills. All seem good of what can be seen. I have used an industrial pressure washer and all the drain holes are clear. All that came out was some brown water when I put the washer in the various drain holes. So Im hopeful I don't have to start chopping them ...

Clay you are a glutton for punishment. That is a massive effort to get where you are. Here I am whinging about some a pillars and a few floors. Waiting on some butt welding clamps to arrive then I will start grafting. Front will come off to check inner sills. I like your rotisserie? Two engine ...

The tunnel has been cut down the centre and simply spread apart. Piece of metal.was welded in underneath where the strengthening rib used to be. They just left it split open?? Yep there's a large split down the centre of the hump. The inspection plate has been modified with a large persuader. Its ...

Thanks Roger. Great photos.I was worried that the CRS Tunnel was so large? I did think about fabricating my own and yes I believe that I will need a 1 tonner shifter if I dont want to cut the seat. Ill probably just modify the shifter to suit the seat I have once its in.

Thanks Clay. I like the idea of not straying too far from the original. I want it to look like an FB but have some zip! I agree with the seat. I am going to get the bench done with a cut out in it. The tunnel has been cut to accommodate an all synchro box and speco shift at some stage. I will just ...
