First chassis repair ticked off. This inner section was very thin and needed replacing. Inside the chassis rail was sandblasted, treated, primed and painted for future protection.

Spent a few nights after work stripping the paint off the back side of the bulkhead. Strip discs, wire wheels etc. The edge of the left B pillar will get stripped properly when it gets repaired.

Repair section welded in the bottom of the bulkhead and ground back. Still a little bit of welding to go but this will be completed along side the B pillar repairs...

Long side coming off piece by piece...

I beams, top hats, shift tube and handbrake cable tubes clamped in for a trail fit. Shift rod tube is the OG sandblasted and primed. Handbrake cable tubes were rusted so I made new ones to spec. including the flared end on the front...
