It's a gas issue. The shroud was full of crap blocking flow, well I'm hoping so. Ordered a couple of shrouds and some new tips. Hopefully that will sort it

There is progress mate, floorpan and doorstep in place and clamped up ready to weld in. Just need to hone my welding skills first. Feckin slow though

Nice going. Get some photos up, everybody loves photos.

I'll put some up over the weekend if I get chance to pull it out

I'll be on it on Wednesday for a few hours if you want to have a look. The trouble is I don't have a clue what I'm doing so everything takes ages. Added to that my welding has gone to pot.

I'll get there though

In the wise words of Eric Cantona, when the seagulls follow ze trawlers, they **** all over Jimmy's welds.

But having said that the welds are dressed up a bit and the floorpan ain't going anywhere.

Ran out of time before getting chance to weld the step in, kids needed picking up

I need to replace the whole driver side inner wing including the flitch so that was roughly cut out. The toe board will be spot welded when the inner wing and flitch is done, along with the inner sill and door step. I'll use some tek screws to pull the two panels tight

 

Can't believe I left some of the inner sill still attached, was too eager to fire the welder up. Won't be too difficult to remove next week

Door step prepped and in position for a few spot welds. Might have got a bit giddy with the Makita though

Doesn't look to bad to be fair at least you have got away with saving the toe board and not having to rebuild part of it

I still can't weld mate
