Certainly cracking on there Dav - nice one. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Incidently, how is the middle part of the A post sandwich held in place? Is it welded? Mine has more rust than yours and I'm wondering what the hell to do with it.

ye the A post is welded in but u have to spot welded it on ETc.

[vlv991v]

Thanks very much Dav. I follow what you're saying. As for mine, I'll be scraping the underseal for a few months yet. Taking ages with just a screwdriver but I'm very impressed with what I'm uncovering. I'll try and remember to take some pics when I'm in there tomorrow. Saving some cash for a welder in the meantime.

hi

the the underseal is a bitch m8 but mines was mostly sandplasted before a got it.
hey use a grinder with a metal bush end like a grindeing dics quite cheap
if u go to the right places etc.save alot of time but a bit sore on the grinder tends to warm up a bit .have went thu 2 grinders in my rs build lol lol .
best of luck m8 ....

maybe see ur progress soon ......
stick in dont give up ........
a did a ten year project once but worth it in the end.......
