Got more done yesterday
So nearly finished the rear winch tray, got a few small bits to clean up then that's done, remade the front where it had bean butchered.
Tower have been cut off completely now and cleaned.
Next up I need the bumper of the red car with the missing link rest pads to mock them up, red cars bumper is bolted on, this will be bolted and welded this time. Also going to fill up the 4 holes in and also chop it a bit. Put different recovery eyes in too which will be more useful than the current hooks it has.
Once that's all on and mounted il clean the entire chassis and prime and paint it, except from where the towers wil go, I have to put them on when the body and front end are on to get them in the right place.
Still also have to inline the rear shock mounts, but it's on hijet way now !!
Got to take a day of work to get it over to the blasters, had a look at the rot I need to fix and it's very easy. Shouldn't take long I hope. Rot in the bed isn't great, but I have the panels I cut out to use, should speed things up a bit
