Wooowwww. Proper job that!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Another photo dump. Only real thing of note is the floor was annoying to fit, but after fiddling the subframes are now nicely in line.

I decided to bin the old rear bulkhead as it was scruffy and bent after I'd tried to fix it, badly.

Photos in some-what chronological order..









































(Floor turned out to be too thin, so had to modify a little.)

That's aome cracking progress!
Really should get back to work again on my project...

Dazed and Confused....

what a mission alex ...well done !

Once you've put the full boot floor in it makes you wonder why you arsed about with patches before.

Another quick photo dump. Progress has slowed because it's too fucking cold in the garage in January, and I hurt my back again mid month so had to take a break.

Welded the front of the floor in, then started investigating the front end / scuttle and it turned out to be gross. I also bought some repair panels for the inner wings but they were a shit fit, and I wasn't happy adding more bodges to the existing bodges so they've come out.

I'm not happy with the bulkhead as it's thin/grotty but I've run out of spare pennies so it'll have to stay I think.

Always scary what you find when you dig into things. Looking nice and solid now.

Diesel heater is a good idea for a cold garage, I have fitted one to my shed. Chinese copies on eBay significantly cheaper than German originals

Another photo dump.

A posts, inner wings, scuttle, lower dash rail + parcel shelf thing.

Had to do the driver-side a-post twice as the first time I welded the post in to a marking that I'd made incorrectly - bugger! Luckily found a genuine new a-post locally for not much cash so I was able to cut out the magnum one and fit that instead (and correctly).

am a zing.

Just call you Dave 2.

Bit more. Struggled with the doors - they fit nicely without the rubbers but with the rubbers in they wouldn't shut properly - but all sorted now. Still lots left to do but it's back to being mini shaped and that feels like a big step!
