The front chassis rails are in place, the frame liners are in place (well, tacked into place) and we've check fitted the inner front panel and the bumper too
If you look at the bottom of the frame liner, you will see all the holes that have been stamped out - this is for us to plug weld these panels together. Spacing on original factory welding is approximately 1 inch apart, but this gets closer together on curved sections and near joints, so where the panel curves, we will have more welds.
After some tweaking, the inner front panel is offered into place and the bumper bolted up, again just trying to ensure that the gaps are looking right even at this stage.
All looking in line from the front now.
You can see here more clearly where the frame liner will be welded into place and the spacing we've taken from original factory welding patterns.
Here the front chassis rail is closed off and you can see where the front top hat and the front cross member all join together. The conduit at the top of the picture is the clutch cable conduit.
The return lip on the frame liner with the holes ready for welding - this will eventually join onto the bulkhead panel.
