hah there really well built hammers and have already been using them. and yes there are composite.

 

I collected the floor earlier along with some other bits got my inner wings and a door skin, I test fitted....well I say test fitted I tried to fit the door into position and now I can really tell how bad the door frame is and it is bad got my work cut out on this one. 

 

I got bored so started clamping panels together to see how they all fit ect and all fit spot on. as I cant do much until I get the door aperture sorted when I get the porta power on sunday.

 

now collecting the floor in a mk2 golf didn't go to plan soooo it got strapped to the roof haha

 

 

 

test fitting the panels up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now..... the door is fitted perfect on the quarter and this is how much over hang ect so it very out of shape 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wish me luck....going to need it

wow, good luck with it.

 

I only asked about the hammers because i have only ever bought mine from the same place and they all have hickory shafts. I was wondering about how well balanced a composite shafted hammer is?

Well I didn't get home until half 12 was absolutely shattered!!

But got the door and a lock set. Today I brought a nice hammer and dolly set.

Picking my floor and inner wings up after work.

So later I'm going to put the floor in just to have a look and get excited about having a floor then take it out just so I can sort the door frame out.









Thanks Danny

Wow does look like you have been busy :) and spending the dollar hehe thats minis for ya :) that door doesnt look to bad at all and would love a nice hammer and dolly set like that :) Is that mk2 golf in the back ground nice looking motor.....

Great project .i feel for you trying to make the panels fit its a bit like trying to peel an orange whilst wearing boxing gloves.

Lots of nice new metal going into this cant wait to see how it pans out

[mini danny]

Cheers rocket been busy today. Removed the rest of the floor from the bulkhead and cleaned it all up sorted the door aperture out. Then I dropped the porta power on my foot breaking my big toe which has now turned black from bruising. It's so painful it's unreal.

Anyway the pics.....

Door fits in the hole!!!!! Still need more work but it's now able to fit







And now the floor all in and ready to be welded this week

















Thanks dan

[Rocket.]

One day I'll have the space and time to build something like this, Nice work !

[minimissions]

Looking really good with all that new metal in there :) top work


P.s hope your toe is ok.....

[mini danny]

Thanks guys will get it all welded in this week hopefully. Ordered a load of bits to get the front and rear subframe rebuilt.

My toe has got worse over night and now in even more pain. Gonna have to go a&e and get it x-rayed.... But will still carry on with the van just keep myself topped up on drugs to ease the pain haha.
