Could be worse, you could have a few weekends of welding to do on a lwb :lol: Throw some pics up, usually unless it's really bad you can repair that area without removing the body.

Or do what I often do and just undo bodymounts, brakelines on the front wing and the steering column then lift the body 6" above the chassis on a few blocks of wood so you can get to any awkward places underneath.

I'll get some pics. It's tidying and welding the underside as the chassis cross member for the body mounts runs right under it.

think that's a good idea will give you a bit of mojo boost.

me offers there dude if you want to do a weekend just going for it. I can lob metal working tools in the zook (ignis) and head on up for a weldathon.

all I need is tea or coffee, bacon and something relatively flat to sleep on :D

Much appreciated bud. I'll probably take you up on the offer.

Just gotta get rid of some stuff in my garage first and make the KJA driveable again so everything can be moved around easier.

Be nice to get another set of eyes on it.

Here's a few photos. I also have a feeling that the drivers footwell will require attention where the floor pan meets the sill.

Seriously, once the body is off how hard could it be to fabricate a floor pan? Tieing it in to the transmission tunnel and the box sills?

Anyone done this?
