Back to the bodywork :armsup: The virtual lift will actually clear 35s with a bit of lift. However I've decided to buy some 33x10.50s for everyday use.

Started with the rear, just taking my time to get everything tacked up with no movement ot tension in the wings, should help reduce any warping, well I don’t want any so I will be taking it slow with the welding.

Ran out of gas working on the rear arches but have most of the work done on them now.

Now the challenging bit starts, the worst of the rust was on the rear cross member, I decided this was more important than the camping trailer so I stole the front off the camping trailer as the rear cross member I used for that was actually pretty good.

Nice work! Coming along nicely.

What is the copper/bronze coloured stuff? Some sort of anti corrosion preventative?
