It's been a few months, was busy with end of university semester, then had a track day which took 2 weekends prior to prep, then the track day, followed by 2 weekends away.. So much time missed on the wagon, but we're back!
Brother fiddling around with his RB20, observing whilst sipping my morning coffee.
Last weekend we started off with first tackling the drivers chassis replacement piece which is in the last photo above. Went in easily, welding was a bit 50/50 as its been a while, however not too fussed as it's getting grinded down.
Now to do the same with the passenger side, first tacking in then going around welding it, followed by grinding. Prior to this, we drilled these holes which were mirror off the initial rusty piece which was cut out. A newly purchase set of christmas tree drill bits were used, first time using them and I must say they work the treat!
Before doing this, I had some toast
The actual progress..
To finish off the day we bent the drivers side piece over, which after I realised it's meant to be the layer on top which is bent over (oh well). Sprayed over both sides with weld thru primer to protect it for now.
I was also given a free D16Y1 a few months ago to add to the 'collection'. Sorted some pallets from dads work with a bit of cutting, fitted quite nicely under the side bench.
