Pointless claim to fame, I've done the fire alarm system and rewired the lights in that Hanger...

Worked at the base as a civvy for 4 years, always interesting to see what projects were lying around in there!

you could have added more lights while you were at it!!  it's the only problem with that place.  but it's cheap so can't complain too much.

[racerlike]

I had a list like that
I found it was always getting longer instead of shorter.

[thespikeyone]

[bpirie1000]

lol.  yes the roof of the car is resting on my fold up creeper.  That is a "just in-case" bar.

[bpirie1000]

That is a "just in-case" bar.

Now were talking.... Beers hidden in the garage....or is that just me...

[thespikeyone]

so thats the drivers side arch closing and inner sill stiffner in





Jacking point just for rigidity not for jacking



doorstep, A post preped



Welded the joins 





just need to plug weld it in then on to the outer sill.  At the risk of sounding very silly, does the outer sill get welded to the jacking point or does it just butt up against it?

 

[thespikeyone]

Does this count as a rolling chassis?

 

 

[thespikeyone]

Todays effort.  quarter bottom done, i'm not very happy with it but might look ok with a bit of filler.

[thespikeyone]

today I was mostly tubbing the drivers side rear arch.







still need to trim the lip so it's the same width all the way round.

[Baldspeed Racing]

nice job with the tubbing, looks nice n tidy
