Re: Traveller
Good to see you've made a start on it - nice to have a rollover jig. Is that the original front bumper valence? It appears to be longer than usual (comparing it to my 1970 Traveller one which I've been re-painting today, as part of a frontal tidy-up) - possibly a van one? And what 1275 engine do you have - MG Midget or Marina/Ital?

Re: Traveller
Good to hear you have a Midget engine - they do go rather well with them fitted. Are you going for any other upgrades, aside from the 'angel eye' headlamps?

Re: Traveller
Phew! Looks like it was pretty rusty. Nice job on the new floorpans.
Is all the boot area rusty as well, then?

Re: Traveller
Floors wasn't to bad seen a lot worse lol .
As for the boot normal the rear lip has gone . got the new bit to go in . then will be adding more box sec to the rear in case of someone hitting it .
Unsure if the tow bar will go back on ( used to tow trailers and drag my old caviler caravan when needed to move it )
But yep getting there will be slowing down a bit now as weather is changing and I'm out side going it .....

Re: Traveller
A good tip once you've got the floors out , make sure you don't leave the grinder undo tool inside the chassis leg
Before welding the new floor in ..
.
Yep I have recovered the said tool ;)

Re: Traveller
Thats the back end off , a couple bits of wood to replace ( have most in loft already ) . some more bits to be cut and welded up . going to fit some 1 x1 inch angle in and some 1 x1 box in the back end . just for the in case , did it to my saloon and that did take a hard one and was fine .
