Evening guys,

Got some done tonight, cleaned up the beam tonight. Also got started on the left hand top shock mount.





More tomorrow.

Not a lot of time tonight finished welding the shock tower and flushed it off. Ready for the other side tomorrow.



Early start tomorrow!

Looks great.

Saturday evening update:

Got started at 0800 this morning, first up was the R/H shock mount







I need to get some mountings turned but that's a job for another day.

Next finished boxing in the chassis





On to the steering idler for ground clearance I have shortened it 17mm and welded a new base in it.











Drilled and tapped the lower arms for the shock mounting also made new studs.



After all that time for a mockup









So here we are after around 30hours a 6 inch narrowed beam! Last job will be cutting down torsion leafs.

Not feeling it this week! Made no progress! On a plus point bought a set of short Spax adjustables off the SSVC Facebook. And it's volks world on Sunday so hopefully that will offer an enthusiasm injection!

I'm sure it will. Volksworlds always good.

Got abit done tonight.

Only small bits but better than nothing.

Drivers door lower hinge needed fitting I got some countersunk screws sorted drilled the new panel and fitted the hinge, also did the passenger upper hinge while I was at it.
Drivers.






Passengers.

Great work on that beam! Front wheel looks just right.
Doors look good man, was it easy getting the hinge spot on?


Excellent mate
Marco

Looking good, great job on that beam.

Dont get disheartened now mate, you are tooo close to getting the fun stuff on there to do that! It is looking awesome so far and the quality of your work is top top notch!

Love the beam mods, never seen anything like that before! Really nice!

Proper job on that beam!

Cheers for the encouragement guys, I'm still on it. One of those weeks I think. Another late finish from work today, will get on it early tomorrow!

Marco, the hinges are straight forward, I managed to keep a set of holes on the inner skin so just drilled through from inside with my 90 degree air drill.
