Long time no see, well I thought I would post a few update pictures



the last one is where it has ground to a halt as I am waiting on a tube notcher from the states to enable me to really make some progress
A good friend of mine managed to get hold of a plasma cutter - highly recommended if you want to remove the floor from a unibody car ha ha
