Im going with a heavy duty white line sway bar. And it looked close when I was doing a test fit and i did not want to risk it hitting later on. So while it was of and apart I added the scallop.

Some Floor work


New piece of tunnel between rear floors in


Started on the bottom A pillar on the passenger side, Made the replacement back plate

[camxsmith]

Man these a pillars are time consuming   :-\

Started disassemble the problem area, inner section needs work as well
 

Started to shape


Cut away the old and in with the new


End of a full day and have one and half sides done with the inner dimpled circle made

[camxsmith]

The front section of the inner sill has a fancy u shape to hold the guard nuts, so a started on that. Found a couple bits of steel to fold it over at the right thickness.


Cut to shape



Test fit still needs a couple of cuts to get to fit

[camxsmith]

Nearly done on the A pillar


Also started on the chassis strengthening
First some 75x6mm flat bar bent to cut and bent to shape


Then added some crush tubes into the frame, for the grade 8 10mm bolt.


then the 75x35mm rail angle cut


then the front section setup ready to be cut.

Passenger side floor prep

[camxsmith]

Nice day to spend in the shed  ;)

Started with a hole (or hundred or so) 


Made a tool for the small press 


Then made a patch piece for the hole.


Then weld it in place


And start to position the new tunnel


Thats enough for one day

Some work from the fathers day weekend, focused on the tunnel arch. From all the replies on the ek auto floor I decided to go with a different design..

Hi Neil  Im going to attempt a cable column shift.  So it should not matter to much..

Hey Cam, I'm doing the same, shifter mechanism from a tarago, cable from a falcon. Should work a treat.
