Great work mate. It's a big job but one that makes a massive difference. I really felt like i turned a corner once i had a floor again.

That’s a very satisfying piece of progress, I bet you feel close to the next step now.

Drivers side seat rail was rusted out underneath. I had bought some seat rails which came with the wheel tub sheet metal still attached. At first i thought this was going to be a straight forward, mark it out, cut it and weld it in. But closer inspection showed rust between the rail and wheel tub on the donor metal.

Lucky I had the sheet metal from the passenger side donor as well. Although it was a mirror image I was able to section it and weld it back in bit by bit.

All ground back and ready to sort out installing the seat rail...

Seat rail repair is pretty much finished. Still some grinding to do but its solid again.

Sandblasted the rail and had to make new plates that mount between the rail and wheel arch. Fiddly job getting them lined up but happy with the result. I will post a final pic once its in primer.

Front panel is off. Stripping and sandblasting paint on the bulkhead, wheel tubs, front floor, dash and inner front structure. This is the last of the sandblasting that will be done in the shed. Had a massive clean up in the shed which was refreshing.

Awesome work mate, huge job just in all the sandblasting/paint stripping. What blaster set up have you got?

Looking good Rusty, have you kept track of how many hours you have put in?
