that looks amazing, but seeing how quickly jacko took the car aprt, i can't say i'm surprised it's gone together so quickly
when that lad gets on a mission to do soemthing, i think he just get's it done, possibly with soem sort of time bending magic invovled, there is no way there are 55 hours in a day

That depends on who is asking
If it's the top dogs who frown on such things, then the answer is "no sir, I'm afriad I don't drink. I just sit in my cabin and study technical manuals"To the rest of the planet the answer is "mines 3 pints of stella with a half bottle of morgans spiced rum please
"I still tend to go down the crew bar when the lads invite me, as for some unknown reason the proper ruperts get all upset when I'm plastered shouting fucking cuntflap at the top of my voice..... Fucking old women

right folks another update as promised , was to fucking late to add and type up this last night , soo ill post it now
basically works been focused on the floorpan prep the plan is to weld up ever redundant hole on the floorpan/engine bay and chassis rails , for a uuber clean one peice of metal look ,
and fuck me what a job it is , the gls sierra sheel looks like it lives in beruit ,this is down to the sheer number of options on the models and ford punching all the holes in the wings ,
some pics
floorpan flipped and placed on trestles
chassis rails , all to be filled
this is still an ongoing process and will prob see the best part of another two days before its all done ,
other areas of the floor have been tackled aswell , namely the sealer ,
as you can see its lifted don the new wings
so out came the wire brush ,
once wire brushed ,it scrubbed with a scotch pad and some thinners ,
and cleaned
dinnertime
few pics of the old girl ,
and if you see this coming up behind you .........
i suggest you move over !!
i then carried on with the sealer removal
and i though i had it bad , anth spent the day bare metalling a 3 dr bonnet !!!!!!!
both sides of the underside pan stripped
and to show how anal the poeple working on my car are .........
pic of the standard chassis leg ? nowt wrong with that you say ,
the so bloody fussy that this wasnt good enough , so they were grinded smooth so there flush together
and another example ,
factor spotwelds that hold the inner wings and chassis rails together
cant have that ...................
all so when its primed and painted its as smooth as can be .......
cant fault there attention to detail !!!
whilst this was done karl finished up the welding on the wings ,
a good weld is a beautiful thing !
as did karl
work will continue on the welding of the holes and infill plates ,
once thats done the lot will be smoothed with a d'a and possably a coat of primer or etch primer and then it will be welded in the car
will keep the updates coming guys ,
