Haha. That would have been the sensible option..

Was the small lawn inside the sill an optional extra back in the day ! Grasmatta:teeth_smile:

Fantastic work! I'm afraid with the amount of rust I would of scrapped it, as haven't the welding skills or location where I could try. Looking forward to the end result.

The small green carpet didn't just appear there, there's definitely been a cosy habitat built there!
A big chunk more today. Outrigger fully welded on. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...0417312422.jpg Floor repaired. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...0417312426.jpg And all the way back. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...0417312420.jpg Inner sill complete. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...0417312425.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...0417312421.jpg Next job will be the sill at the jacking point, welding the outer sill on, then fixing the rear arch. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...0417312424.jpg And that will be the welding done! |

What Alan said ^^^^^ :thumbs_up:
Saw this last night but was so shocked that yould actually got to the end of the welding equivalent of painting the Forth Bridge i was lost for words! :err: Definitely well done, hope that bottle is the first of several by way of celebration! :thumbs_up: |
Thank you! It is a good feeling. Lots still to do though!
And the welding isn't over because this just arrived.. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...2674449680.jpg And this.. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...5196333900.jpg I think the blue one may be beyond a bit of MIG wire.. |
It's nice having a non rusty car. Still a few jobs to get this back on the road.
First a clearout. Hired a skip and got rids of lots of junk. Cleaning under the volvo was enjoyable. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...4154353718.jpg A tin of dynax was emptied into every cavity. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...4154353715.jpg Floors painted. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...4154353711.jpg Repairs painted then undersealed. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...4154353710.jpg Suspension cleanup. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...4154353713.jpg Bushes removed. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435378.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435375.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435376.jpg Stripping. https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435374.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435373.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435370.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...7415435372.jpg https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...4154353714.jpg I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing a front windscreen. Local companies don't do one, a new one from Skandix is in the region of £600 delivered. Becoming an issue now. |
