New floors arrived today - lovely :-) ! Means I now have all the main panels I need to start repairing the body shell (at least for the passenger side anyway). To facilitate this work, I moved the bodyshell off te support frame I'd built from an old metal bed frame onto my spare Chassis. Did this on my own which was easier than I imagined actually :-) I've now bolted the body onto the chassis (which will act as a jig) and cut out the passenger side sill, floor and lower A post. I say cut out but in reality it was mostly drilling out the rivets that had been used to hold an aluminium floor panel in place and likewise the sill! Fortunately I have the door gap braced and a Steel hardtop bolted in to help keep the body together!
Whilst this has been going on I've also started to strip the original chassis. other than a duff outrigger on the passenger side she's in remarkably good condition I think! Here's a pic.
