I bought a 1 tonner years ago , when I checked it out prior to purchase I lifted the carpets up to check the floors out, they looked fine - months later I had the thing on a hoist and the floors were rotten - turns out someone had bought 2 new floorpans and just sat them on top of the original floors - the only thing holding them in was gravity

Well done mate, nasty when you find things under other layers hey.

You are not wrong- and it keeps on giving….

Finished off the drivers side plenum repair this morning

Only to find lots more

Chop chop chop

Bit of CAD work

That’s note pretty

What a horrible fiddly prick of a job this is …….

Had to remake the drip rail using a thin sliver of the original as I can’t press the shape with the gear I have here - it has taken all afternoon to make a piece of steel 240mm x 35 mm

Got there - had a few goes at getting the first crease right with the bead roller


Then folded the rain gutter pressing


Trimmed to size then got the roll over to the roof sorted


Cheated and made it lap under the turret skin and glued it in - bog will fix the rest of it
