    What happened when you got past the point of no return, it looks like you'd have a job catching it!

  5. Well it was a svinkta tensing moment but someone's obviously put a bit of thought into this frame as it was fairly manageable with a couple blokes. We used tyres to slowly guide it down so I wouldn't personally like to just push it straight over but I'm sure it'll go over quite smoothly! Day off today.. Cutting away metal tommorow :)
     
  6. Nice work :thumbsup: ,looks just my late Devon did after a few years of ownership ,looks like a Sundowner?
     
  7. Thanks! Yep she's a Devon but unsure if she's a sundowner or not, I think maybe... Got a lot if work to do this week! Goal is stripped of underseal, all bad metal cut out, repaired painted and under coated within the fortnight... Wish me luck.... Before I go back to work..
     
  8. No don't want to curse it for you.

    They're a bit short aren't they? The ones I had didn't fit together or match the profile either...
     
  19. I've mocked them up and they look alright to be fair, they only go up to the inwards bend though so we will have to make up the stuff directly after these bits! If only someone dos the full length to the torsion tube! :-(

  20. Today's progress... All the near side bad metal... Gone. Ready to start rebuilding the chassis rail tommorow... Then onto the offside, the better side of the two! image.jpg image.jpg
