Keep up the good work and the consistency!!
Just as well John. People are starting to ask about your absence at Classic Cars and Coffee - as they did today!After a good treatment and all surface rust removed I have welded the two A pillar layers back together and ground back the puddle welds. I can do these!
I have also pin welded the sill in place where I want it ready for Glen the professional welder tomorrow at 8am. We will get the A pillar done and dusted. Then I can move onto preparing the inside floor and pillars for paints.

Looks like lovely work John. Congratulations on the serious effort!
Well done John, those springs are fun things to play with.Lunch time quick job. Yesterday I got to sorting a few McGyver tools for TL spring removal but stopped short of not having enough nuts in 10 x 1.25 for the long thread. Bit of spray grease and down she came. I sat high in the engine bay for safety whilst operating the McGyver tools. Piece of cake. 30 min job - now back to Sydney job.
(last pic is of the homemade tool to compress the spring to remove the shock and top wishbone)

I wasn't John. Seemed to easy, with the right tools! And I had no new shoji anywhere near. They were around the corner.Be very afraid of those springs............
Lovely shojis, and yes, OK 'with the right tools'. People have taken chances over the years and it is such a bad idea!I wasn't John. Seemed to easy, with the right tools! And I had no new shoji anywhere near. They were around the corner.

Yes, after the nuclear holocaust, there'll be Shoji's R17, a certain driller's barbeque in Kalimantan and the cockroaches.....So good Shoji. You will be able to eat of this thing when it’s done, and it dam well will survive the end of the universe.
