I have finished modifying the wheelarches on the rear tub. I have also removed the lower half of the tub bulkhead, though the top half will remain until the tub is trial fitted on the chassis in order to maintain rigidity (I don’t want to fit the Evans UK bar yet for fear of damaging […]

The underside of the wheelarches have been cleaned up to in preparation for the modifications (front sections are being cut and moved out closer the wing panels to increase floor width by 5″ each side). The pic shows the new materials (£240 worth!). The floor and wheel arch panels are 3mm marine grade aluminium. The […]

I have collected the tub’s lateral steel braces from the blaster. Bit of a dissappointment really. I had thought the rust was just on the surface, but should have known better. The pictures show holes in the side of a brace immediately above the pad where it sits on the chassis bracket. Not only is […]

Finding more rot! You can see the damage to the tub floor and the longitudinal stiffeners where they have been in contact with the steel braces. The close up also shows the stiffeners breaking away from the tub floor (the black line is between the stiffener flange and floor, not along side it) due to […]

As you know, I’m now concentrating on the rear tub and its varous fittings. I can’t wait to get that finished and fitted as: a) it’ll allow me to align the bulkhead, so I can then finish that too; b) allow me to fit the rock sliders, which will in turn allow me to fit […]
