Cheers for the words guys…..it helps me keep going as it feels like you are all watching me lol

Well I am on a tea break so thought I would put up what I have got on with so far.

Got on with the chassis and its starting to look like metal again. Here is the main rail that runs under the floor





And the rear cross member









I have only spotted everything in place and will seam weld it all when I have done everything and know its right. Stuffed myself once when I was younger with welding everything up and had to go back and undo it all, so now it all gets spotted until I know its right lol.

Going back in the garage now and just got the plan to make to 2 new rear outriggers and call it a day as I am up London tonight. Will be back in there on Friday carrying on with the plan.

No good reason :), I'm no expert on pop tops, so I like to get every pop top post tagged with it's name for my and others reference.

Cheers for the words guys and gals. Just a quick update........and its to let you know nothing has been done to Graham as I have had to rebuild the g/f's engine for the bug so been on that of late.

Then I got a T4 floor to weld, me mates 1600 engine to build, a 76 panel gearbox to sort that is stuck in reverse and a narrowed beam to put on a 74 bay. Love it when show season comes and everyone starts to panic.

So Graham is going to be a bit neglected over the next month but as soon as I am back on it I will let you guys know what is going on!
