Good day today started by cutting out the rotten corner to the nearside front outrigger and replacing with new tube all looks well, then got the engine box in place and lots of measuring both chassis and body eventually got it where I wanted sitting nice and low in the chassis and a bit further back than the original, all works well with the planned two only seats being further back in the cab. I have fabricated the majority of the offside engine mounting all the final welding and gusseting will be done when the engine is out again but pleased with todays progress.
