Bought another frame off a lad on here, checked it and all was okay and straight so again had this blasted, then seam welded and started making brackets to strengthen the towers



Once the brackets were welded on, holes had been drilled it was back to be blasted again and then powder coated

Back now coated and well happy with the finish of it. Didn’t go that crazy with taking weight out of it but is far stronger than standard now

Must admit i thought posting stuff was a bit slow at start ..now it makes the difference when you get a nice comment and it also keeps a nice log of the progress your making to look back on..its hard for me not to go with lots of trick bits on the van but i think its best to keep it stockish with a few nice bits sneaked in..yours however is the oppersite scale so keep them coming..

Yeah I totally agree mate, the van is too special to do what I’ve done to it. Being a boring old saloon it doesn’t matter with this one :)

Fibreglass arc angels doors delivered, not expecting perfect fit but are so light compared to steel doors and not silly money like carbon.
