Ahh M-machine are best delt with over the phone, very good phone service Tom

 

Shame to hear this Tom, but a reckon anywere between £100 to £1000 pounds, really does depend on the buyer as its not a genuine mk1 floor ect.. people will be less alclinged to buy it, were-as people like Jagman,me and you wouldn't mind having to do the graft to make it original again :)

mmm ok mate see how it goes money money all the time doing my head in   have you done much to yours this weekend? 

[rally515]

Yeah thats one of the down sides to being able to do your own thing is the spending

 

Nothing done on any of mine to be honest, having no welder isn't exactly helping either

The transformer has gone, but the welder is over 25 years old and has been used since it was bought....in 1987!!!!!! HAHA crazy

wow, this is serious stuff, you can go stand in line with jagmann, with this kind of welding that is required,

 

aren`t you better off buying the m machine as a company :) with all the metal you will need :)

 

good job already and keep going

Looks like you're back on form here Tom

 

The panels of the A-post and doorstep you mosked up look good in place, get the flitch welded in and the inner A-panel and fix the door so you can get the step welded in, repeat on the other side and thats ready to spot weld to the floor

 

So you have a new toeboard too ?

 

Cheers,

Cliff

lol maybe a beer would go down nice after all this dust and welding i am covered in the stuff now just from grinding haha

Good work tom, I'm not sure I'd be able to cut every thing out like you have . I would have put a couple of braces from side to side and maybe some on the a pillers to the bottom of the quarter panel to stop it moving.

[rally515]

Yeah tack in firt, mock everything up in that area first with tacks which are off the top of my head "A-post Stiffener, A-post switch panel, Flitch panel, Inner A-panel.Outer A-panel and doorstep" you will need to trim some metal or add metal to the doorstep and courtesy light panel as there migh be a gap or too much material there so bare that in mind and don't b sat there scratching your head because of it haha

 

Heres the A-post stiffener on mine showing were i,ve welded and what to weld to:

Mocked up:

 

 

And here's the bottom part of the stiffener that joggled so you can easyly spot or plug weld to the inner sill which is the rolling floor pan you have haha

 

 

And heres the top section:

 

 

 

You can see all the extra material on the doorstep i,ve got with it mocked up:

 

Hope this helps and i,ve not just spammed your thread T
