I hate bodywork.... It feels like progress is really slowing down now (well being back at work doesn't help either). I did fabricate and weld on some skids for the 4-link boxes:  and made up some engine bay gussets (not cleaned up yet):  I also seam sealed the interior and bottom and did a lot of remedial welding:  and it's looking a lot smoother now:

I'm bo no means an expert, but there's a heck of a lot of spatter on those gussets. What set up are you using to weld??

I ran out of mig gas - so that's using flux core wire (gas less wire).
It still gets plenty of penetration but a lot of splater too; I will get new bottle new week (prior to any roll cage work)

Will you be hand sanding the entire floor back before adding the primer? How important is it to do that step as it would appear to be a pig of a job!!!!!???

I will knock that filler sander pack with a 800 by hand - then prime, hit that with a 1200 by hand and then top coat(s)
and yes it's a pig of a job with the floors - hence part of the reason I have hardly touched the car for the past month!

Just a tip with flux core wire i was using the CIG stuff and had heaps of splatter very much like yours but Bunning ran out so i used the cheaper Weldcorp brand and it welds a lot better so much so i will find it hard to go to get gas.. little to no splatter and a way nicer looking weld....
good work mate

Where did you get your rear bubble arches from? They look a much better fit than the pair I have. Keep the posts coming - similar work to what I have going on

My first weekend back on the project after a 3 week break. The front panel was a bit of a mess:  So I cut out the rot, and bashed it back into shape then welded in fresh metal:  A skim of bog should get it looking good. I then stripped the engine bay (chemical, wire brush, grinder, and even a bit of sand blasting):  There were 23 holes requiring welding up (mainly battery tray). I also fitted the 2ltr radiator cut out:  Time for a beer...

Looking great,
I always get inspired lookin gat other progress and quality of work to get stuck into my project.
Then reality hits and I realise I would have to make it up as I go along.
All part of the fun I guess.
Kepp it up and keep the pics coming.
Cheers
Matt
