this will just fit, just! I was thinking across the back doors width ways and then sink and cooker units across back of seats!! what do you guys recon the best layout is for a swb shr?

[madbri]

what u doing about the floor? cutting it all out and patchwork? or fit a complete floor?

[djvirus82]

not sure yet when i attack it with the grinder and see just how bad it is, i will make an educated.

[madbri]

im sat here thinking id probly rip all the floor of then do all ure work that needs doing on ure outriggers stood up thats if u need any work on them

[djvirus82]

that could be a plan, bri. chop it all out, guna get the back end up and drop axel off and exhaust and tank, clean axel up change diff oil and replace brake pipes and brake shoes/cylinders etc if they are needed. exhaust has seen better days and im going to have a side exit anyway all down the sill - hot rod style!!!

If you chop it all out get a floor pan, got to be easier in the end.

think i will probably go for the full floor, just bin on fleebay and they are 135 quid, going to try beevers in the morning, it only 2 mins from my house, if not al just get a big piece of sheet metal and make my own, remember to wear a mask this time tho, got arc eye welding a recovery truck once c*** see for 3 days!!

NICE 1....just won a slidding window and a gas heater on fleebay, for the quite frankly, might as well av stole em £27.50 for the pair.

not much happen over the weekend but did manage to get 1 side of the old insulation and fibreglass off and reinsulate and get ready to cut drivers side panel out for my slidding window instalation. floor will be getting cut out this week and should be done and welded up by the weekend, so i can crack on with getting the new floor down and carpet and side panels etc.
