Yeah and change your profile picture , as that one has white plates on !!
 
with the new stance the front end needed tubbing.

I wanted something a bit more 'stock' looking and not as deep as the larger tubs you can buy off the shelf, plus i still wanted to retain the seat runners too.

So out came the angle grinder :shock:

Then using the cut out floor i folded and welded up some sides etc to form the tub

after some weld through primer was added i welded in the tub before offering up the seat and welding in the box section on the inner edge and attaching the seat runner to this too
