Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

I got a puma shroud (I think) for cheap that I'm planning to use. No doghouse or outlets. It's pretty beat up though so I've got no problem massaging it with a hammer - it's even got filler round the outside  Huh

Keep up the good work

Got a couple of hours yesterday and today on it, lots of boring rust removal and finally some new metal going back in, I had to fit everything at the back to get the Hookys bumper mounts in the correct place.
Rear apron/valance is now removable as well, at least it looks like a car rather than a pile of rust now Grin

Yes just bolted on, I have one hole that needs opening upwards slightly on the wing as it only lines up half way to the body nut but that is all I will have to do to them

Small update, all structural welding done on body so separated it from pan, finished the framehead repairs to pan and stripped all the old paint, underseal and seal sealer of it and prepped it for some paint, its now got a good coat of satin black on it and is currently drying, next I will build the pan up ready to go back under the body.
Its booked in to have the cage fitted in about 3 weeks so got to keep at it Shocked

Yes but I didn't have one with hinge panel with captive nuts in to hand so just used the metal one for mock up, helps me make sure I got it all aligned up right & straight as well

Rear torsions[27mm used] and spring plates set up, then jaycee retainers fitted[used]

2x fuel lines fitted in tunnel, new shift rod bush then shift rod in

Beam bolted on, arms and hubs fitted, steering all cleaned and stuff I hadn't already painted got a coat of black then fitted

also found this horror hidden under a generous layer of underseal and skim of silicon sealer, the plate wasn't even really welded on that covered the hole!!!!

Those JayCee retainers.
I always wanted to know if you could use those on the street, aren t they prone to wear?

I have them on the old cab and haven't seen any issues but it doesn't do 1000s of miles a year so not sure how they will hold up yet, have heard of failures in very short time but never figured out why when mine are good after 6 years or so

I have a magna fuel reg that couldn't keep up with the new cabs demands so using that, and pump is a generic 911turbo cheap[£40] repo that just comes in a brown box, used them before but will have to see if it can supply enough for everything

We sold it Cheesy  but to be honest I prefer the skills of someone like Jim when I put my safety in the trust of the cage, knowing those welds will hold is great peace of mind Cool
