Ok I have actually managed to get in the garage 2 days in a row!

I fabbed and welded in a fillet plate that again I had been putting off, and then painted the front half of the chassis.

I also cut out the floor, from 2mm chequerplate. I then started to grind off the chequers where the floor will make contact with the chassis. To do this safely I used a flap wheel on an angle grinder, as using a grinding disc may cause it to explode. It's taking quite a while as the flap wheels aren't lasting long.

Any progress is good i guess.

Wow I can't believe it was MAY last time I posted!

I can't even say I have done much! I have now finished my other project, the BMW 540i and am driving and enjoying it daily! So, back to the locost!

I have a cold at the moment, and with the latest grand lurrgi being swine flu, my GP has told me to stay away from work till this cold is gone - just in case. Well, who am I to argue? I have been up to the garage today for an hour, and fabricated and welded in a rear panel tube I have been putting off for ages. Maybe I'll get a little more done this week.
