started beavertail on existing chassis out of 4x2 box and start making my pull out towbar

towbar clamped in place ready to make plates to support towbar

as you can see ive cut square out of plate to tie it in nicely

now just wants welding up


as you can see added more strengtheners better be safe than sorry

also bolted existing holes and welded near chassis

also had little plates made for body souls to rest on then can weld them on


welded plates on extension so can bolt on body souls

is the m7 chassis same as the mk6 ??

chassis looks the same just springs different width thanks for viewing

[ARTCARCOM]

did i mention steel came


so can start body now
1st i bought 5x2 galv c channel for souls

so they running front down beavertail to the back

then cut angle and welded up an welded every bracket i bolted down previously

my idea is to cut 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 out of channel so top of channel is finnished height
ready for sheets
to get my height i mesured from bump stops to axle
8 inches
4 inches from top of tyre to top of chassis
5 inch c channel
gives 9 inches
1 inch for mudguard
but should never be bottomed out my mk 6 has never bottomed out
and ive had some funny loads on it
well see what else i can get done this week hoping to have it looking like a body next weekend

Are you going to be painting or galvanising the new body?
