Now you're just showing off. That's pretty cool, opens up a whole new world of options with those two tools

muhahah

Well i just made my first attempt at a floor pan, pretty happy with the results and it was so quick and easy to do! The floor is a little oil canny after bead rolling but other than that I'm very pleased! Maybe dirtbag has some tips

.

That piece sits between the transmission tunnel and the rhs chassis rail rear.

Yep i've watched heaps of lazzy videos, ill checkout that website. Always open to ideas

.

I had a second attempt at making the floor pan, this time i made both sides in an effort to keep it symmetrical. Its better than the first attempt but still not 100%. Getting better tho!

Its only just sitting there atm, still it doesn't fit too badly

Neil hadn't had a play so we thought a cartoon piston would be a good place to start

Diyautotune are doing a promo atm, upto 25% off anything on there website, 1% for every 100 facebook likes over 2000. I'm looking at buying some more gear off them for the Monaro, they are up to a 11% discount atm. I feel crap spamming people but the discount is too good not to try

. If you can click the like button in facebook for diyautotune.com http://www.facebook....com/57837395932 that would be awesome. Anyone that likes them on facebook is eligible for the discount! Its worth while, the monaro is getting going to get a sweet setup ;D.

Neil is going to buy the megasquirt for the rustina if the discount gets high enough

The other day we sandblasted a couple of bits and pieces so more welding could be done. Today i welded in the other chassis rail in and started to weld in the drivers rear floor. I forgot to take photos of the chassis welded in...

Sooo, we've been a bit slack with this :S. Neil and I bought a pressure pot sandblaster for $180. Best buy ever once we sorted out all the annoying problems like moisture clogging the mixer
