Hope that helps?
So hit a stubling block with getting the subby back in already. I ordered new trunnion pins but they didnt come with new nuts as i thought they would, been to 2 motorfactors and they dont stock them so will have to order some. Ow well im going to get on with undersealing the underneath instead.

Managed to get a couple hours trying to get the rear subby in last night... didn't go so well... It would seem that the subframe isn't aligning itself with the rear trunnion mounting points. This is down to the heel panel that was repaired recently I think, once I'd nipped up the bolts at the front of the subframe, the rear mounts where in line but about 3-4mm to far back... out came the subby again to have a look... there's a sandwich of about 2-3 layers of metal before the thread starts in the mount, so in effect spacing the subframe out to far.
Think its going to have to be a case of getting the grinder out and cutting it all out again and fitting new heel panel sections...
So that's set me back abit.

Aye luckily I didnt have that problem with the subby, but i made my own panel and made 100% sure before seam welidng it..
Best thing you can do is to get all the bolts in tightnened by hand, then individually tighten them up. If it's still no go then i think you may have too start chopping.
Thanks again,
Iwan

That's the problem Iwan I cant get all the bolts in at once as theses no way they will all line up as the subframes sitting to far back off the front mount point.... major PITA!

Sal i would not bother with that door repair. The rust comes from the inside out so if i was you reskin it. That way you will see if the lower lip of the door frame is rotten or not.
Cheers dude I thought that would be the case...
Wouldn't suppose you have any/know any tutorials on skinning doors?
