got back off me hols at tea time ,didnt take me long to find the garage
small up date ,but its a start .removed all the brakets from engine bay
also wiper motor mount but will reweld back on when the fab work done

also cut the bootfloor out ,still needs tiding up abit ,and made a start removing sound deadning ,makes it easier for cleaning metal up,also sierra
seat mounts going in this one instead focus items so more needs to go for welding

bosses are on there way out also and will see me steel fabricator mate on satday as working with him ,will order me steel mainly tube
for turrets as they stock the rest

need get hold some nacked sierra seats but not in a rush for them bit off needing them
