off to the bank tomorrow, hoping ive got pennies, then fingers crossed go get metaland get some more done.
going to make a removable towbar for this as i still need to tow a transporter sometimes.
someone has replaced the sills before, bit its terrible, box section is the wrong size, and not even conected to the chassis at the back, only the body. but conected to the chassis at front but not the body, wtf ? haha
will see about getting some body lift spacers made up too.
am going to replave the front footwell floorpans, dont want them a patchwork as they will be seen.
whats best to do with the chassis ? theres only a tiny hole to weld, but a good bit of cerfice rust, wire brush then...?? ive got some hammerite direct to rust, bust u painted it on the rear shocks on mums disco a while ago and it has started to flake off

The tool box looks a bit big, but if you can fit in in with a fuel tank go for it. For the rust... clean it up with a grinder or wheel and use rust converter then that red protection paint (forgotten the name) then hammerite. Whats your plan for the back of the cab?
it is big, and heavy, but i dont think thats a bad thing ? more weight at the back might help with many things
(too early in the morning for brain to work right and explain my thoughts haha)back of the cab will get a box section frame then thin sheet steel over it, thinking a run of angle iron along the roof join to make it neat. dosnt have to be too strong as im building a full cage anyways.
hopefully away to get box for the sills today

The other thing you'd need to consider is making the toolbox secure
secure as in to the chassis or secure as in so no #### can break into it ?
i can weld it to the chassis and theres a large hasp kinds lock for a big padlock on it

well... both, but I mean security wise, will be quite an easy opportunity for a teef
got a big boron carbide padlock to go on it. should help a bits
maybe put 2 other padlocks n it too, see how it goes, the box is made from 4mm steel sheet, so quite strong already
