Fortunately I welded the rear member the w/e before being hit. Good timing or what? Mrs Dm took it for test the next Saturday morning while I was lying in Hosp.
Got to get the priorities right...

Well, over the last few days, ive managed a bit more, as well as getting Vince's new toy done..
Ive completed the passenger side welding at the rear subframe mount..
Ive also had the subframe mounts cleaned and protected too...
Ive also tonight removed the Air Con compressor to access a Fuel Leak on a rubber hose.
After removing the hose I found it has gone brittle and hard, and it had a tiny split.
So im on the look out for a piece of high heat resistant fuel line..
Thats all for now!

Well, we have achived it!!
We have gone from this:
to this:
Subframe back on, wheels on, exhaust on and spare wheel carrier on!!
Now, next little bit is a patch needed immediatly below the middle pillar on the inner sill area... right next to the fuel pipes!!
But we are winning now!
