Managed to get the front section attached to the front roll over frame today so that it was high enough for me to work on, also started to remove more of the bits I don't need

 

[camperman3617865]

Made a rear frame to attach to the chassis section this afternoon to enable me to rotate the whole thing, I can now put it at any angle, and saves me bending down over it on the floor

Makes it so easy to work on,
I don't know why I haven't bought one of these roll over frames before

Have been removing the late bay gear-shift housing and handbrake fittings from the underside { as they are different} so that I can fit the early bay ones off the old chassis section

Indeed this kit is genius!

I went up to see the old girl before Christmas and she's a lot, lot lighter and less flakey. Russell and Mike are top guys having fun cutting the old girl up and replacing her with some good solid metal.

Cant wait to see the underneath when they turn her over... Watch this space!

Keep the excellent work up!

Cheers James

Mike and I have already seen it and Its not pretty

 

[camperman3617865]

I am so glad that I have one of these in the workshop, keeps it as warm as toast in the winter

I have finally managed to get all the early bay pedals and fittings fitted into the new chassis section

 

[camperman3617865]

Also been cutting and grinding back all the metal we are going to replace
Chassis rails on the van have been measured and cut to length to marry up to the new section

 

[camperman3617865]

Been busy today... test fitting first

getting it into place on my own was a nightmare, as its a bit heavy on your own.

Getting there slowly

I decided to keep the bottom hinges, and the bottom part of the A-posts on the replacement chassis section because they were far better condition than the original ones, just had to make sure I cut them in the right place so the marry up nicely. so when i was happy with the measurements, I welded them together with the doors on as to make sure the door gaps were also ok
