yeah used to be a lefty! cutted the bulk head out by using those "plasma" cutting disks, there really thin! so cut as close to the b pillars as possible and around the seat boxes then when it comes free stick on a grinding disk and dig out the spot and tacks then pick of with a flat screwdriver. looks tidy with no dents or damage!

been fetling over the xmas hols and so far got it to here!
 
a few more pics of the seat bases
 
 
made up the rear bench from a shortened velle base and a few lengths of 25mm rhs
 
 
and not shown.... the rear of the back supports are another 2 lengths of 25mm rhs which tucks over lip on the bottom and bolts to the main box across rear of the crewie
 
looks like this
 
 
just need to make up speaker boxes for either side and fix side bolsters and seatbelts.
so far only made 4 holes to hold that lot in so as not to have brackets and welded bits all over the shop!
 
prepped floor for welding!
 
 
 
and cut out some abortion LOL
 
 
welded  exhaust back on in a sensible fashion!! was looking round for a nice exhaust but could only find stupid priced or corsa only!!
 
 
looks tidier and still isnt too loud! also fitted them postoffice lights i bought of baxter many years ago! cant rush these things!

Come on Rowlesley, spread trhe word where did he get the new load bed from?  I am due to start hacking away at mine shortly.  Any info would be great!

Wicked job you are doing keep it up.  Take a look at mine, fitted with 2.5 Subaru motor, f***ing flies, just need to get that front down another 80mm (so much for 80mm being max drop).  Give me a shout if i can help with anything.

Thanks

Griff

spent a whole day messin with this.............
 
 
bastard job! make up new brackets cables and swap all the jets coz the Ebay muppet didnt know what he was sellin! (should of guessed that by now tho eh?) runs eventually but still need a service kit fer the pinto coz im sure its only running on 3? (at the end of the day its a shit ford engine thats running points and condenser so in my opinion its no better atm as a fuckin bay!) still looking into a 2.0l 16v mk3 golf lump or a nice vr6 would be good! wonder if the autobox would put up with that!
 
painted me dash and mounted the rev counter! (retro fit ....nearly!)
 
 
 
get it fitted and sort the service out and take it fer a blat!!!
