Only had a couple o' hours spare this weekend,
but did get the passengers front floor in

Time to flip it back on it's side and put the other half of the crossmember in.
Next weekend though

Finally the all the floor and new crossmember is in

I reckon I've spent more on grinding and cutting discs than I payed for the car

Rust converted floor........

Coat of 'rust kill' enamel tomorrow and all ready for deadener

Hi EKSPCL,
you are doing a great job of this - well done.

Just one point - and I'm sure it has been added - didn't see the other sub-frame mount on the top hat section crosspiece - driver's side, for it to bolt to?

I'll fit this back on when I fit the front back on,
I think this will be easier than welding it on and finding that it's out

I didn't change the entire front passenger's floor,
so I left that one in place and fitted the subframe up to it.

Sprayed a coat of 'Rust Kill' enamel on the floor today........

MMMM shiney

Welded up a few dodgy bits on the front end.......

In focus

And gave the underside a coat.....

I've been playing during the week with the wiper motor.

Started with "I'll give it a clean up and a quick spray"

Ended up noticing the wiring was a bit shabby

This is now what I have.......

I'll give it a re-wire and some paint this weekend
(Glad I took photos as I pulled it apart

)

Thanks peoples

It's amazing how motivating it is when you know you can show other like minded people what your doing and hear they're thoughts

I get something done on the car and I'm straight in to the computer that night posting it on here

I've given the wiper motor a re-wire, a coat of etch primer and a couple of coats of primer

Now for a coat of 'Grecian White' and she's all ready to go
