Got a job I have been putting off done this arvo , like most of these jobs it wasnโt all that hard once I got stuck in and had a go

Marked the tunnel and got it fairly close to straight
Trimmed the box I made months ago and zapped it up

Test fitted the top bit
Put rivnuts into the top so the outer boot can screw down and drilled holes so it can be riveted down , covered everything with seam sealer and black paint

Got a little bit more done this weekend, made up a set of MSD plug leads , nice kit but a little spendy . Got the blower belt on and found it sat awfully close to the nut in the middle of the alternator so got a longer alternator belt . A bit more wiring sorted and also got the fuel line finished . Cleaned all the crap out of the cabin area and got it ready to put the carpet back in .

Then onto the rattler, got the last of the quarter welded on - marked it up and put a 1 mm disc through it to line the donor piece to the original bit

Then tacked them together
