longtime no update. lost all motivation for a while which is why i started on the boot install but i got back to the welding this weekend.

started by fixing most of the MASSIVE hole in the drivers floor, began by cutting out some more of the floor and some of the cross member.
then i welded the rear of the new panel in.

no photos of the inner sill area but i did manage to fill the 3 inch gap on the tunnel

whole floor before inner sill was welded

holes drileld in the front ready for plug welding when i make up the repair piece

started a repair on the doorstep as i wasnt happy with the first one.

now onto the bulkhead box.
made on a piece to join it to the dash rail and scuttle and its now ready for the scuttle to be fitted once i drill some holes in it

hello all,

got the cuttle panel on yesterday and also started to rebuild the front of the floors.

i have also decided to make my own steering column as im not really happy with how it seats compared to where i want my seats adnd pedals etc. its only about an inch out but just makes it that little bit awkward. you can see in the photo below that the red line on the dash bar is directly infront of me when im sat in the car.



and a little photo of some random bit i had a play with last weekend

ive managed to get it down to just under 1kg

and now onto the fun bit! there was a huge sale on at car audio centre so i picked up most of the new system excluding the subs and amps.

this is my rough plan for the door cards (theres a few different layouts so let me know which you all prefer please.

and a few of the different speakers
