rite today a mate donated me some box section so i decided i was goin to do some fabrication...now fabrication is not my strong point so i am prepared for the backlash for my efforts lol



i know i know my weldings pants




temporary seat mounting  does hold my weight tho rocking backwards and forwards and climbing in and out and i weigh 18 stone

the piece of rock is not part of my seat mount lol

thought you was drilling and bolting the colum lol still its quick progress way faster than im getting on with anything of mine.!

U got too many projects on at once mate 

hoping some wheel bolts turn up today...been trying to beg borrow or steal some for days now...dying to get these wheels on so i can sort the ride height out.....think im going to fit some mk1 cortina rear lights if they will fit as i love the look of them and have been kindly donated by a friend

was let down on wheel bolts and rear lights 

yesterday made some progress...got her on all fours and out of the garden and onto the drive...found a t25 alloy wheel fitting kit in me shed...the fronts are adaptor bolts to change it to longer studs and they screw in form the front and the rears need pressin into the rear hubs from the inside so im not entirly sure thats possible yet so it has some mk4 golf wheel bolts in the rear for the mo....rollbar has gone to a mate who is a master fabricator as it needs to be 4 inch wider and feet fitting to it....once hes finished with that then hes goin to take my brace...add a cpl extra brackets and weld it up all pretty like lol...few piccies 





need to clear me little shed out to try locate a few bits and bobs...really want to get ride height lower on the front and set the trackin a bit better as its waaaaay out....mite fit handbrake cables and look at pressing these other wheel studs into rear hubs...we shall see

quick update....rear wheel hubs wont accept stud converters....fudged a tie rod end rubber tryin to sort the trackin....unsuccessfully...bastardised a second late bug seat for the front...and my mate ady has taken rollbar to widen it 4 inch and bang some feet on

couple of pictures of the front down got about half an inch clearance on the beam and the ground so relativly happy wiv that  .... i do however have a slight problem...i cant seem to get both adjusters on my beam to sit the same...my fear is i have assembled the beam wrong which will be a proper s**t if it has as i will have to undo all the work ive done so far  not sure how much progress will be made today as usual if there is any i will post some pics

flat tyre....just wants refitting i think...but dont the buggy look sick 

front end looks good but the welding

what are your plans for back wheels, those wheel arches are going to take some filling, wide arent they?

What's up wiv my welding lmao...its s good job i got a couple of good friends who are fabricator's who have welded all my floorpans in haha..my mate ady is taking the steering brace to properly weld up when he has finished welding my rollbar ...rear wheels fit quite well width wise gonna run it as it is just about...no windscreen the lot 

Gonna run it as it is just about...no windscreen the lot 

That's the spirit

little bit of progress yesterday but mostly just finishing jobs off...blew a hole in the floor welding in another seat  broke my big bar trying to crack off the rear hub nut....got the wheels pointin in the same direction tho...destroyed a brand new tie rod end rubber doin it but never mind...cpl of pics








gonna make 2 more braces for my steering brace then it will be ready for my mate ady to weld up properly...hopefully get my rollbar bk today...and hoping on some standard bug rear lights

to save destroying the ball joint boots when removing them slacken the nut so it is on the end of the thread then hit the arm with a large hammer a few times and the joint will pop out.
good to see one step forwards and two back happens to other people too, you will get there though.
