You don’t do anything by halves mate. Cracking job, keep up the excellent work.

Top, top work. Commitment, time, and belief. You have it in spades, mate!

That inner wing is a great job.

Looks like great work, keep at it.

He does! He bought a car that was half metal and half filler. Sorry Derrick

Fairly sure Derrick went into it with his eyes wide open.

Small update I've stated to remake the bottoms of the seat support rails as they had rusted badly and also don't fit the contour of new floor

Made this repair piece certainly made me think a little

Fit well pretty happy now to weld together

1 side done

Same again for the other side

Spot welded on

Then a bit of a seam weld

All ground down

Done and ready to be welded to floor

But first must sort second rail out

 

[jonbills]

fabtastic work Derrick.

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Well done Derrick, now you know what to do the second will be easier.

Some serious skills on display there!

 

[tyroguru]

Love it. Great photos.

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

have you thought about just just puting the angle magnets in to hold the seats? you'd get some great range in movement

 

[Ian]

Love your work, nice skill.

 

[Turn & Burn]

Good effort Derrick, all this brings back memories of long cold evenings in the garage, It’s really starting to taking shape now!

 

[Ped]

Great stuff! Loving the attention to detail.

Thanks to everyone for your great comment always nice to have positive comments even yours Rob G sometimes i think showing people whats been done and knowing their enjoying how things are done also makes it worth posting up and spurs people on to do more thanks again Guys

So another small update rebuilding the second seat mount

Patten cut

Folded

Holes cut out

Now welded on

Other side folded an holes marked out

Now welded on

All finished

Amazing how much work has gone in to repairing these seat mounts and to think they will never be seen

Just need to weld them in now ,back soon i hope

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Nice job Derrick - I may 'take the mick' but I do admire your work and tenacity.
