All the best to Rusty, I hope he comes through the operation ok and doesnt reject the organs  :wink:  Can we have a few minutes silence for the donor of the important piece of metal tho please......... :cry:  Without these selfless act's of heroism other rangies would be consigned to the dustbin!!!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I didn't think twice about the body mount brakets, I just cut the lot out and made new brakets from 3mm plate welded directly to the new box section.
I also cut inwards into the vehicles floor a way. On the passanges side I drilled out all the spot welds at the seam about 10" into the vehicle, replacing a large section of the floor with fresh sheet and braced with fresh angle iron.

Use plenty of seal sealer after welding it all back together to prevent the water and rot getting back in all the gaps after you have done.

Wolfie_:
Well after lot of welding,and many gas bottles later Rusty is now less rusty. doors are on, all thats left is to mot him and then on to playing in the mud

Wolfie_:
