8v Update

Yesterday ground down the repairs on the chassis rail leg and put it into primer (laid down a second coat tonight). Then cracked on with repairing the chassis rail gusset, making up a repair template out of cardboard – the gaffer tape is a structural element 😉

It’s a lot easier making corrections in cardboard than steel so this makes sense. Finished fabricating it up tonight and last thing put it into primer. Should get this welded on tomorrow and that’s these chassis rail gusset sections are done.

Today I received the first of my recent bargain purchases – I managed to source a full set of steelies with brand new Michelin Pilot tyres for a great price off eBay. Just waiting for the fourth one to arrive… The inserts that convert to flat rather than tapered wheel bolts just tap out. I’ll probably get these painted up in white at some point, but no great rush.
