small update 

 

brought 3 angle grinder discs for my chop saw and what a machine that thing is cuts my 3mm steel easy and fast and is accurate love it, started cutting out my seat mounts, done some more cleaning of the floor and my dad got a new car, a 1959 mk1 tvr grantura that needs a shed load of work, just cant get over how chuffed i am with that saw!!!!!!

update as i have been busy today making my solid seat mounts for the front of the seat to bolt onto these are also extended brackets to allow the seat to go further back i have made mine so that i will weld them onto the crossmember but i could have also done these to bolt in to the standard mounts 

 

 

also got the new source of heat in the garage sorted it is no longer warming up by moving around now we have and actual wood burner setup !!! makes such a big difference

 

 

done this and had a big garage sort out so now its nearly neat and tidy thats the update for now, until tomorrow.............

Nice! Inca yellow huh? I have never seen that color before. It's super unique. I bet you'll turn some heads.

update i have welded the seat mounts in, drilled holes in this for the seat subframe, removed the latch off of the subframe and fixed the seat runner catch, also i shortened the front bolt mounts on the seat subby so my seat would sit at the correct angle 

 

 

welded some new bolts in the runner latch as it had one rivit and half a bolt holding it in before

 

 

also strengthened my welding trolly as it was abit wobbly so i added some triangles in 

[minimk1]

also had a sweep up and fixed my earthing clamp 

 

 

update next weekend >>>>
