The front brake harware is pretty dead.



I created new brackets and things from 2mm steel.





Created new flares and unions where the hoses had to be cut off.





Installed new inner tie rods.



Mounted on crossmember.



I'm still waiting on some parts for the front so I moved my attention to the back.

Pulled the rear axle.





The shock mounts are fine... which is a shock!



Back end is largely OK apart from the inner wheel arches.





The chassis rail has a hole.



Cut out 1.



Repair 1.

New captive nut for fuel tank bolt.





Cut out 2 (I hoped to avoid this bit, but reality dawned).



Repair 2.



Second layer.





And the chassis is pretty much done.. no more holes in the rails.



Started cutting off the arch flanges.



Pulled off some of the plastic lower trim. Ouch.





Roughly shaped up using pliers and bashing the metal with the palm of my hand into place. It's going to be hidden so doesn't need to be smooth or beautiful.





That's me pretty much up to date!
