Sunday and the sun is out , yay. Typical as I'm on paint today
So my super chassis trolley has another trick. I can tip it up either end and get underneath easily. Just as well cause I'm cutting out the coil towers ready for rewelding them further aft.
Took some datum point measurements as reference.
You can see a lot of surface pitting but probably won't reuse these bits anyway.
Spring tops and drop link points removed and area cleaned up.
Now a lightweight chassis
Steering box was next to go, damn that thing's heavy. Made the whole trolley experience even better though
At last , I got some paint on. I'm using BUZZWELD rust encapsulator primer . It's almost as expensive as printer ink, so it better bloody work
It may not look much different but it's safe to go back in the rain at least.
I've ordered diff case protection as they I think are worth buying. I'll make the rest of the bracing.
Trailing arm material is proving more difficult to find but I'll get it .
Onwards.
