Good day today! Floors finished up underneath so now solid. Also lopped off the jacking points and made my own instead which are not so bulky.
Pics!

Paint smudge on the roof seems to have morphed into Al Jolsen. Damn Tippex pixies.  Cheesy

 Smiley yup, the sun/moon roof's staying.
This began as Loony's project -a very radical Volksrod. Then Archie bought it, with a view to following Loony's plan. I think it's maybe been toned down a little since, but the roof chop's still on the cards. Loony says he doesn't know of any others that've been chopped & retained the steel opening panel -which is a good enough reason to do it.  Grin

had a good day today as well. Feels like I'm not making progress, but making one off bits and doing a proper job, with only one day a week is the reason for that. Soo went down today for a play. reshimmed one side of the floor as it wasn;t square with the oppositte side. This would mean the body wouldn;t sit square. Also finished off one side of the jacking point as well.
