Looking good. Although it looks like you have the windscreen panel inside the air box lip. I think it should be outside it.

Working on getting the roof sorted today.. got the roofing adhesive gunk they used after a lot of burning and scraping.. started rebuilding the inner frame and used the Ali brazing sticks to join the frame sections. Highly recommend for Ali repairs and joins..

Windscreen valance finally tacked in today.. test fitted the nose and by all accounts it's a good fit!
Just need to chop a bit more of the A Pillar skin to marry it up properly and whip out the rotten cab floors tomorrow and I'm ready to get the inner, valance done and then the bottom A pillar repairs.. oh then refit the dash after a refurb.. then refit the doors and replace the arches.. hmm should be ready for Sunday ..

 

@JamesLey Windscreen valance now correct side of airbox lip

 

Looking good mate!

N/S cab floor out.. pity complete RHD complete cab floors are like rocking horse sh*t oh well have to do both sides and make the middle by hand I guess..

 

Nice work there sir

 

The middle of your cab floor looks like it would clean up fine, just stitch in the repair panels for each side and leave the middle in place, that's what I did. Never cut out more than you need to!

 

Yeah working on that basis at the mo.. need to drop the steering column and pedals out next week to get the O/S done so hopefully the middle will clean up as yours did

I'm going to order a 3 part cab floor from Schofields and just use the bits I need. Autocraft are doing full floors at some point soon but not just yet.

Mate of mine knows the Autocraft lads well.. they are doing complete for early but not late yet.. where did you order the middle but from mate? I've got the left and right repairs but middle would be good

I've not ordered it yet but I was going for a similar one to the one you've linked to but the 72-75 one.

Wish I'd got a full one now.. have you got the product code for it ?

Getting one of these. http://alanhschofield.com/ourparts/prod_2474412-Cab-Floor-Complete-RHD-7275-214801051GL.html
Will cut the left and right out, repair the centre with the middle bit from the Schofield floor then get left and right welded in. If you're just after repairs for the centre I would think Schofields could just send you that bit?
