The resurrection of Tufftee - Part Deux :o

Don’t she look lovely in black?

And a bit of easy fabrication.....



Still got to decide what to do with the remaining floor part.... remove from donor floor or manufacture from scratch.

Good god, while I was pouring concrete on my own until half 7 tonight you were a very busy boy

Fab it up out of that 1.2 zintec.

What we doin Friday? Is there going to be anything left for me to do?

How did you get on with the welder settings?

i was finking... that the floor should be 2mm as it takes a hell of a pounding.

Not much the last couple of days. A bit more paper cutting and lots of dozing and keeping cool in the shade.

Maybe some more activity tonight.
I think the sill supports need cleaning up on the car prior to sill fitment.

Do you mean the body mount outriggers on the chassis?

Or is the heat really cooking my fragile little brain today?

Yes

Not much (No) actual work tonight, but plans made for the next week.....

Remove more floor section, cut out replacement floor section from donor floor.
Manufacturer inner panel for A pillar and triangular front floor section from 2mm Zintec.
Cut OS sill box section and weld on end plates. Maybe tack on front sill mount.

Drain fuel tank, ready for removal.
Clean up NS chassis outriggers and ns rear quarter panel

Donor inner floor = stage 1



Removed from outer floor section. Now needs prepping and cutting to size.

See, this cooler weather has inspired you, it's mint that and it's gonna fit in there a treat to rid that pitted section!

Cooler yes..... p|ssistantly raining don’t !

I'm moving boxes into the self storage place again today, really not looking forward to it and I can only pray they let me back up into the unloading bay if it's still pizzing it down when I get there.

I am dying to start the dismantling of the back end for repair but next weekend is also good for me, it's supposed to dry up in the week just in time for cleaning up those outriggers and painting them and cutting out that rotten old floor section, do you have a CO2 extinguisher for the welding up?

I have several CO2 extinguishers, water ones, dry powder and even the odd Halon one.
Most are now date expired but still fine to use.

Good, prefer CO2, is HALON still legal? Thought it had been outlawed due to it's (supposed) affect on the O-zone layer?

No. but it is very good . I keep them for small expensive fires. Not needed one yet . If I get a suitable fire, Ozone is last of my worries.

Guess wot I found?



Both of them... but new ones will be betterer.
Let me know ££ @dieseldog69
