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:

It was probably planted by Gertcha Thornybum or her ancestors as an act of rebellion......

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.

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!

Well folks, the welding has finally come to a close.

Some filler is required, but I'll do the cosmetics after I've had quite a few of these.

https://wolfnomad.files.wordpress.co...5251312450.jpg

Slainte!

I think I speak for all of us on this forum - well done! We are nothing but impressed, you have done a super job and you deserve a few nice drinks before you begin the redecorating.

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.

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.
