Well done buddy and keep up the good work
PS - when your finished.......
Wayne
Thanks Wayne
My photo bucket a/c will not behave itself.
With Wayne's help a couple of photo's to show the old fellow is still at it
I would have been lost without the Rotisserie, been able to rotate the tub nearly 360 was a big help.
The ribs under the Tub were .8 mm Al. no strength at all, replaced with 1 mm Galv, could put a Elephant (well a small one) in the back now.
The door skins were easy once I obtained the die for the opening.
Even got the second fold in the bottom.
The floor had been rolled many times fore and aft and weeks of tapping and filling dents, top and bottom.
Finding countersunk rivets for the floor was some more fun.
Spot welds marks are made by heating a 1/4 inch rod to red heat and burning the primer to make a neat hole before putting the top coat on.
will add more soon as I still have a stack of photo's to come.
cheers
Ian
