| Hi All and a Happy New Year,
I haven’t posted on here since last July and not updated the project since March last year, so here goes.
Basically there is no progress.
I’ve been working on other things, a new panoramic window in a caravan I was given, helping my two daughters move house, one in Bath and one from London to Cardiff, finding, sorting out and delivering a car for one of my daughters to Cardiff and then to top it all off ….I went and bought a 4.4 TDV8 Range Rover. The last item is self-explanatory and says it all.
I have now bought some welding gas am tidying up my garage and am about to resume work, Range Rover, wife and decorating permitting.
I’ll post again when I’ve done a bit.
Cheers

| Hi Roger,
Happy New Year and good to hear you’ll be back at the welder soon.
We did our annual exotic holiday in Sheffield in Aug but ended up a bit rushed. Next year I’ll make sure I escape for a morning and head down to check your progress!
Cheers

| The 6th Jan 2022 was a false start. Had loads of work to do on the Range Rover and my Mum who lived with us died in June '22.
I'm only just getting on top of things even the Range Rover has now gone after I took it in for a new oil pump to be fitted and they managed to sieze the engine up! Negotiations are still on going.
The good news is Denis is now on the rotisserie and ready to be worked on.....when I get some more welding gas. The valve on the new bottle I bought in '22 had siezed closed.
I'll try and keep you posted when I remember where I was up to.! Doh!
Regards to All.
Cheers

| Sorry for your loss. A very trying time losing a parent, and the grieving time eases as the months pass.
Glad you are now able to ease back into doing the car which will have a therapeutic effect. | |

| These are new photos fom start of work in April.
I had to cut away good metal to get to this area.
Very time consuming and tricky(well for me it is)
I'm working on the offside sill now but its a lot worse than the nearside was.
More photos to follow.
Cheers

| A little more progress -
Outer sill removed.
Example of previous sill repair with filler or chewing gum couldnt decide!
I decided to replace top sill.
If I had done this side first I think I would have done both top sills.
I had one fabed up locally.
I'll post showing the bits I've put in later.

| A few more shots of the cutting out and replacement of top and bottom sills.
Slowly going back together.
The top sill which I had made locally was a good fit.
A bit of work to tidying up the plug welds and then I think I'll finish the floor now before completing the inner wing and bulkhead below the pedal box.
