forgot to add that the support for the front seats has been seam welded today too.
JeffJ, wish i was a pro, it would be done so much quicker and easier if that was the case!!

the top mounts and the rosejointed suspension parts i fancy having will probs be harsh on the road but it'll be worth it for the handling benefits

today started canny, woke up by the postman with these indicator mounting bolts
then went outside for a play with the welder
clagged on the drivers side inside sill
then the outer sill
the silver piece of metal you can see sticking out below the rear end of the sill is a repair patch i needed to make, it still needs trimming off and welding to the bottom of the sill.
and the rear inner arch
sills need a bit more welding to finish but i come indoors for a cuppa n some bait then couldnt be arsed to do any more

found a supplier of rose joints while at work last night, so it looks promising for my DIY stainless steel rose jointed rear suspension setup
