More test fitting and chassis welding. 04/03/08



I was paranoid about the chassis twisting during the welding stage so braces were in place and level checked every 5 minutes.

Engineering the Chassis. 01/03/08

 First dummy up of the diff and front end.

 The agonising first cut of the chassis for the kick up. No turning back now.
 Can never have enough clamps.
Took a couple of goes to get all the angles right but we got there in the end. 

From Deconstruction to Construction. 28/08/07

 Dad checking for twists.
 Machine tapped blocks to replace original nuts and bolts.
 Dummy axle to measure diff length.

Down to bare bones


Most of the nuts and bolts came off with a bit of force. Some either snapped off or were cut off with the grinder.

Once we got the chassis down to bare bones dad asked, "what do we do now" ?
