Almost OK here, got the front wing off the RR rebuilt the inner welded the bulkhead just need to apply a bit of sealer to make sure its watertight and .......I noticed a rust bubble and a pinhole on the inside of the of the Disco's rear door opening and I poked it then some more then I got a wide bladed screwdriver and made a bloody great hole. I've just ordered another load of mig wire! cos when I finished fabicating the o/s I noticed a pinhole on the n/sand applied the angle grinder and coarse brush. ..Oh s*it!

Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate Derek, managed to produce the following words of wisdom
You fixed the waterpump on that Rangie yet? Sounded bloody awful when Carl had it.
Dont worry - they all need fitting using ropes/levers, ratchet straps or big hammers :) The measurements are nto that critical!
Footwells are easy. If by corners you mean the bottom corner posts, tack them on, then put the bulkhead onto the chassis and get them lined up before proper welding. Or you could perhaps make a wooden jig before stripping?
Or just guess like many people do (I did) and then have fun fitting it. Only took 3 people with crowbars to get my 2A bulkhead back on i think :)
