79 Single cab pickup

Out on the bike this morning then by the time I'd got it working it was nearly dark, just played about with some scrap then ground it down to check penetration, so I've ruined the evidence for now

 

One job a day
Bit of a top hat



If I could do it again I would do it differently but we live and learn!

 

Bit more yesterday




Got to get a bigger gas bottle for the mig, sick of these little ones , last about a minute

 

Can't help it Malc, want to get this thing on the road asap.

 

Boxed off the corner of the locker

Back of the inner n/s arch

New lower B post and patched arch

Small repair done on inner arch then started to fit Lower outer and step edge


Doesn't look much for a day's work!

 

Looks good to me

 

Can floor redo a previous poor patch


So now I'm right round and back to where I started, rear arch, looks terrible tho so I might do it again

I'll think about it while I'm in Spain

 

First peice of locker floor in

 

Rear valence this morning



Then prepped the next bit of locker floor

 

Side tracked by the father in law today, bit of remedial work on the Alvis mudguards!



Anyway back at the tent, welded the second bit of locker floor in place


I promised myself I'd save this bit of welding till last so just getting it ready

 

Up early this morning for a quick trip over the hills to here

Some projects in the yard



Some classics on the way back


Anyway I went for these

So I can crack on with this




Quite happy with my mornings work

 

Very nice. Been years since i've been to schofields.

 

And the last bit in

Got go round some of the edges with the gas welder then a ton of seam sealer

 

Actually finished welding in the locker makes me very happy!
Start getting some paint in it now

 

Looks fantastic

 

great work ,how much are the sheets?

 

Cheers, £30 each you could get away with 3 if you made the last bit from the cut offs, the profile matches the load bed not the locker floor but as I was replacing it all its fine
