Hi guys, been a while.
got the new heater channel in, got the shock mount welded in , left side of the floor is done,
waiting for some parts for the right side.
welded some holes and the ends of the heater channels,
few more small holes to fill, wich will take forever with the old arc welder, but it's getting there!

yeah, thats a steal! bought mine in the 90s and it was full of rust, but ran, drove and stopped, paid $1300 for it, took a few years for the rust to progress to the point where it was undrivable. used to get sprayed with water going thru puddles! GOOD TIMES. its the same story here, you can basically watch an old car rust before your eyes. where are you from in the Netherlands? I went to school in Limburg province for a while, Used to paint the town red in Nijmegen!
Proost!
