Still some final checking and welding to do on the frame head, as the beam is currently being narrowed, so its initially spot welded on currently after measuring twice and welding once Wink

Today we braced the body ready to chop off the heater channels for replacment.

Also completely finished the pan via welding on the jacking points and swapping the LHD master cylinder holes to the right, and welded up the LHD home.

Started on the heater channels, seen this trick of raising the shell on the bug me videos and it worked quite well so up the body goes for better access.
