Chassis Stiffening - Driver's Side

After the Long was patched up, I added a further skin to stiffen the chassis - inline with the passenger side. Paint removed, metal cleaned up...


..and weld primered.






The Jack Post area was plated first in two halves of 1.5mm steel with curved upper and lower edges to fit perfectly against the Long beneath.





I drilled the plate that sits on the angle of the Long and removed the paint around the holes..





All 3 pieces were tack welded in place..





 Welds were finished, cleaned up and ground smooth-ish..
