And more of the fun that happened on the last long weekend...

So with the floor trimmed, it was ready to be spot welded in place.

I tack welded along the inner edge of the floor to sill, and the floor braces, then a touch of paint.

Then it was time to remove the mk1 axle mounts and find out how rotten it was!

The inner sills on both sides needed repairing before anything happened!

They needed to be flared towards the rear of the car to allow room for the rear subframe, and the trailing arm bolt.

And then it was a case of joining all the bits together! :)

Whats been happenin parks..?

Ur mk2 setup is due to roll out next week..

Not much really, been busy with other projects, went to watch the tt, basically had a couple of weeks off fabricating.

I've ordered a rollcage which should be here any day now, so this weekend i'm going to get cracking on!

So hopefully more updates this weekend peeps.

When my car is done, i think we should line up all the 'parky custom' motors for a piccy ;)

Blimey! Has it really been this long since i've updated this thread? Must try harder!! :)

Progress time people!

I folded a new bulkhead a while ago, an tacked it in place. It still needs holes for the steering column etc, but i can do that at a later date.
