It's been a productive day
Starting with a very rainy windy day, I hid in the shed and have completely dismantled all the front suspension components and half the rear.

Brightening up a bit this afternoon, I set to on the bulkhead and cut it down:


Then removed it altogether. All but one of the bolts needed grinding off unfortunately and on removal, it seems one of the feet need replacing too.
I've been around the chassis completely now and there are no more attached parts so I've hit the place I wanted to be in. Being picky, I reckon I'll change both rear outriggers along with the Left hand centre one. The Left hand Boot extension has a hole in it but knowing it's going to be at best shortened and possibly cut off altogether, I'll use that for a practice weld or two.



I have to admit that my greatest tools in this build up to now have been the angle grinder and an impact wrench. Without them I'd be stuck

Happy days !
