Re: The Dirty 'D' Cut everything out ....and welded box section in front and rear 8cm higher this is the amount of channeling i am going for, cleaned up the rear seat mounting deck and bolted back into place on the chassis. Lifted the shell back into place ( like jelly) and spent a long time checking and measuring to get it all true and lined up, once happy i added a few tacks to the rear deck and to the front box section. made up some side panels from the rear deck back onto the sill at the rear, lined up the new floors and notched around the B posts and bolted down, all welded into place the shell is gaining strength again so i can sleep happy .... rechecked the measurement time and time again and i am happy to say it is mm perfect....
My other half said scrap it, but this car and i have bonded... so its going to stay, just sitting lower down....
