Got a fair bit done today ..
Me and the wife lifted of the body ...so not too heavy yet .
All the bits i couldnt get to while on the chassie have now been welded .
Then i added some floor supports and a few mounting brackets
Then some roof supports ..double thickness to allow the roof plates to be fitted
Then started on one of the many doors ..took a while getting the thing right ..alowing for the 2mm plate to go on the front of the doors ...while allowing space at the back for the door seals to be fitted .
Comming along nicely ...tommorow will be a lot of grinding
Need to get the door frames made up so i can get the ali cut to size .G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
