as you can see ive been busy on the ute not the van. The metal over the diff section had a couple of bits of rust so i cut this section out .Lucky i had a donor van to cut the piece out of (thanks minifcvan).Went in pretty easy.it took about 5 hrs from start to finish.next job is to fix rust in rear chassis rail passenger side metal has been ordered.

ive welded the front and back off the tranny hump and i welded the lip that runs around the firewallfrom the inside so that i could grind it away for a cleaner look in the engine bay also gives me some more clearance at the back of the motor.
the last picture is where i cut out the chassis rail and folded up a new piece and welded it in this will be where the commodore fuel tank will sit on
cheers fat

over the long weekend i decided to do the a pillar repair on the drivers side using a nos a pillar all in all about 7 hours to take the old one out and install the new one . Panel gaps around the door are excellent . The repair was really easy compared to doing wheel tubs on the van.next on the list is the drivers side outer sill that will be this wednesday night
cheers fat
