Update 27 - Chassis fit out and bulkhead repair

The new chassis is getting fitted out with it's first fit parts. Floor and main plumbing.



It looks soooo shiny and clean





The old chassis is nearly completely stripped.... the engine, gearbox, back axle all stripped out.



The petrol tank is the first thing to swap over next week.




Bulkhead repair

On stripping down the old chassis, we found one area where rust had taken hold (not an unusual location). There were no other areas of significant rust even adjacent chassis components. Weird, but not irreparable.







These sections are now getting cut out and made good, nice and new ready for a shiny black paint job.

I've ended up ordering an o/s inner bay panel and also an o/s wing so everything matches. We will also not need the inner wing cut-out this time around as the throttle bodies are much shorter.

When the o/s bay panel is collected the damaged door will be dropped off for re-skinning.

By the time this is completed it's going to be about 75% new!!
