Spent a fair bit of time yesterday on welding up the inner cab corner on the old girl, and it came up okay, despite my crappy welding skills. Amazing what evils a lick of paint can cover. Despite that, it seems pretty solid and looks not too bad. A hell of a lot better than the mess it was in,
Here's the cab floor. Hit it pretty hard with the wire wheel until I got sick of it. I was never gonna get every scrap of rusty metal off the floor, but I gave it a good going over. Here is the floor with a couple of KBS Rust Seal coats. Should be sweet now for many years.
Work is progressing on the dash conversion slow and steadily. Was planning on farming it out to a shop, but was quoted $800 to do the job. Guess what I did? Decided to do it myself and pocket the cash to be spent on more interesting things...
Gradually working the LHS glovebox into place. Already it's a huge improvement over the old one. For more coverage on this conversion checkout my video's here:
