I'll post when I get in. I was getting it all wrapped around my b0llocks as was mixing the passenger rail with drivers seat etc. I'll split and work on one at a time.
 
I think yu were asking about floor/ sill section.
Here are some pics. Hopefully they are self explanatory!

Have yu you set it on fire yet?
The seat or the disco or the fender or all of the above? Haha
No! Seats fully working just waiting for an in-line fuse and bit of cable. Diff flange and service kit plus brake fluid and a new rear caliper kit is here. Might end up working over the weekend. Either that or the I’ll just stay up through tomorrow night and get it done.
Flange kit is britpart which actually looks well machined. I have a gen seal to go in it. I think I may do brakes first mood dependant. If I’m up for it I’ll do some more welding. I’ve started cutting box at angles to span from boot support cross members. Not bothering with a boot floor kit. Going to make the sides then have a removable centre section.
Rear door is also complete bar a couple grips.
Still got to cut sill remains out before doing floor. I got that mapped out in my head. It all depends how I feel and if I can be arsed to have a grinder in front of my nose. If I want to chill out I’ll just service it and do brakes
 
Rear calipers fixed up and got a fairly good pedal. No tube knocking about to bleed so I’ll grab some tomorrow if I get time. Could do someone on the pedal as was bleeding via a jack bar on the pedal :D
 
Until you realise the pipe has fallen off the nipple and you have just drawn air INTO the system :eek:.

Yo been there too then :)

I got a length of rubber hose with a one way valve on it and used a cable tie to secure it to the nipple these days (there could be a joke to be had there :rolleyes:)

I'm working on a swing away spare wheel carrier design at the minute and as the passenger side rear quarter panel is off I think I will take the opportunity to use the C post (3door, if it were a 5 door it would be D post ;)) to mount it and avoid the traditional way of a single spindle on a home made rear bumper. No time for a full bore bumper build and I just saw a spare wheel carrier on the back of an old KIA Sportage in the scrap yard that provided the inspiration for what is to come.

I really like the rear door card you've knocked up, fold down shelf and a bit of storage, just need to get the stove stored there and you're golden for a brew ;)
 
I picked up a great little brew stove from lidl for the farm for under a tenner!
Ill treat myself to a jetboil if I get out exploring more this year. I don’t want a big Coleman stove in there - I’ll have a little stove on the molle panel. Got first aid kit going on there too and a admin pouch.

I fixed the rear door today saying that. It was missing a rod from the mech for remote lock. Very strange. I made a new one and now it’s all working. Haven’t tested it with the fob though! The door panel is trickier than I thought to line up!
