I thought you were putting in a wooden floor for a moment there

A lot of nice, fresh metal going in there

Really good productive day today.

Clamped and welded the back half of the shell to the chassis jig. Got everything level on both planes to within 0.1 degree. Set the string line right down the length of the car so its central to the sills.

Welded the front of the sills down. Then had to push the inner wings over by 3mm to get the dummy front cross member central and in line, then made location points for the front anti roll bar mounts

All 4 key points bang on in line, probably straighter than when it left the factory.

Then set to cutting the rotten chassis legs, front beam and lower half of the inner wings off.

Everything was really crusty but the worrying thing is i had this thing rotating on the rotisserie mounting of these crusty areas.

Well an evening of 3D CAD and start building new chassis rails

Jamie, Now you have gone this far, how about putting some modern RX-8 subframes and suspension under there. Seen it done with an FB

Lol nice try.
Track far too wide for the anglia and i like the original shape of the arches. Now if my name was carlos fandango i may take you up on that.
Already made significant investment on suspension parts already and chassis rails went in today..... to be continued......
