    Bought myself a reciprocating saw which turned up yesterday so I got to work this afternoon. Cut the rest of the bulkhead out I needed to then started on profiling some tube. Firstly the small pieces in each bottom corner...




    Followed by some bigger bits!...




    I then drilled holes straight through the box section and started tagging it into the bulkhead...





    That believe it or not took me around 5hrs! Profiling and checking is sooooo time consuming. But I'm getting there.

    Thanks for looking.

                          So spent this afternoon undoing what I did last weekend! Had a long hard think and wasn't happy with the 1st design so have gone with this now...






                          By doing this it will be easier to make the bulkhead and I will put another horizontal in in the old position too and link it up to it further, following the profile of the a-pillers. And if my guesserments are correct the new horizontal will also be in a good spot for gearbox clearance and the tunnel opening. Obviously still needs the sides of the tunnel.

                                Small update from this afternoons work.

                                Started by making the 2 diagonals that tie the bulkhead into the chassis rails, mounting just before the subframe mounts...




                                I then drilled out the top subframe mount holes in order to insert some crush tubes, this will be welded in later...




                                Next up was to start making my turret tops. Sadly my 86mm hole saw has seen better days so had to stop but plan on sourcing a new one tomorrow! So got all the subframe and jig all mounted up ready to go...





                                More soon hopefully! Really want the front end done now.
