Reet, update time. The drivers side floor pan is close to nearly being welded up. The drivers side transmittion tunnel is now solid. I have a small patch AGAIN on the passenger side. I just need to make a patch for where the drivers floor is half way. I also welded all the tiny holes up. I'm just gonna drill less for the onboard fuel and brake lines.
I can get pics if wanted.
Comments welcome

Yes all welding is done by me. It's useful having a car that's this rotten as by the end of it I shall be pretty good at welding And having a clean piece of metal helps, as I found out today. By the way, the floor is nearly welded up. Will update tonight

Fair play to you! Think it its good that you can weld when you want to take up rallying.

My dad made it for me. It is a basic triangle frame, with various supports, and a drum brake system, so I can put the brake on in any position I want, and it can be set up for any car.

Hi Nathan,
Reading through your thread. I give you a pat on the back. You'r very brave to take on work like this. It's like the car has some major rust cancer and you just taking it away. Well done mate.
Good luck on your resto. You've got skills.

Hello The car does seem to have mega tin worm, but it's solid where other sierras aren't. The front wings are near dam perfect, but the rear quarters, rear drivers arch and rear panel are crumbling away. And thankyou for the kind words, means a lot
