Doesn't look anywhere near as rusty as you promised, and it seems to have been welded/bolted together. I don't see any nails...

Top work, mate!

here is the rig doing some flex

Scotie my leafs are 115cm and 6.5cm wide

They flex well and that's almost the exact measurements of YJs!

Shame I've never seen a Korando that shape in the UK

I have been working for 2 days now on the rear end and i closed everything with steel sheets weld them with co2 and closed them with mastic silicone for cars zuki is ready for spraying acid to clean the rust and power wash with hot water inside out for painting , there is no rust like in uk because it doesn't snow here.
sorry no pictures yet

Superb build, can't wait for the next lot of pictures, a rare old combination of parts used.
