started n the drivers side floor to strenghern it up so first removed the old channeling

then made a new one with nice thick steel


welded that on and cut the other rottern part out ready for some thicker steel

added a another plate

then added the thicker one to strenghern the floor and chassi mount up ,

then did a few flooor patchers ,, thinking about it i wish id just cut the complete floor out instead lol ,, but a bit late na

then thought check for a few bits to sort around the body ,

finished off the rear quarter ,too

few holes welded up

then finshed weldeing the bottom door corners
