Well I been busy. Umm what have I done... Made the bottom of the firewall and have just tacked them in place, I made some rear inner wheel arches, welded up a couple of holes in the firewall. Here's one of the patches

Yeah, I figure it that 202 will push it along ok, should weigh less than a commodore, and an advantage over V8s is it will go past a gas station!!

What part of Godzone are ya crate???

Looks like a good starting point, more than I had!!!! This is gonna be awesome!!!

Pic is of the raw panel steel gearbox tunnel, haven't hit the driveshaft tunnel yet! I am aware of aluminised exhaust coatings, cleaning that up is the next mission.

Finished forming the tunnel today. Dads going to come out and check what's happening with this welder. I have enquired about getting the driveshaft done, just waiting on a reply

Mean! Love it

Sectioned the muffler apart last night, then jumped up n down on it a couple of times. Needless to say, it's made an awesome tunnel. Has a very slight point at the top that's gonna look different to the normal rolled or square look. Just need to do a few measurements, cut the excess off, and...

And scored this truck muffler out of the scrap bin. I'm going to turn it into a driveshaft tunnel

Here's a weld sample. Can anyone shed any light?

Soooo I bought a spool of wire and put it in the welder. Pushed the ol girl outside and had first turn with it. To put it lightly I reckon the gasless looks better!!!! I tried a whole heap of different things but to no avail. Im welding with CO2 (first time) does this give a "messy" looking...

I just love this thing. It's sooo AWESOME

Compared to you guys I'm lame. Google 1976 hillman avenger estate....better than a Honda civic I supposed

Shifter acquired, junkyard special a mate found in a wreck. Can you say Hurst???

Case of having to, not wanting to. Besides I'm intending to get this on the road for as absolute little as possible, so it's DIY where I can. Driveshaft need to be done professionally. One the to do list nearing the top...

Made bits of the gearbox tunnel tonight. Not bad for a vice and a couple of 2x4s

Cheers for the encouragement! I'm in process of getting my bigger Gas MIG going. That will make a big difference to the weld quality.... Gasless is yuck but functional....

Been into the car over the past week or so. The body mounts are heavily tacked in place, the floor mounts are finished and ground off. Im really pleased with how it all turned out. Anyway a few quick cellphone snaps, sorry not the best but hopefully the idea gets through. These sandwich this...
