well i blown my old 410 so i thought i would buy a sammy so thats
what i did only this sammy looked alright untill me and scottie got garry the grinder on it and there where more holes in it than a sieve so i cut the old sills out and replaced them with a bit of 80x80box section. cut the hole back plate out and replaced that. a lot more holes i had to plate

Excellent colour choice there :shock: that looks splendidly evil :twisted:

Good job you didn’t have to pay someone else to do the welding for you... that would have cost you an arm, leg, kidney and cornea!

I look forward to seeing it in the flesh (mild steel).

What is the fate of the 410?

That is a very cool looking SJ.

You have about the same amount oof rust as mine does, altho i can only just weld, and it is a very bad weld! nothing like learning on the job! :mrgreen:

nice bit of welding ;) i know just how bad the bodywork is to weld with! so i certainly dont envy how much work you've had to do to that!
