(The Panic List has been updated)
Welded bolts onto the cut off rear bumper mount beams. Nice and grody job too. Nasty piece of work that is:
...a few bolts and washers later and Bob's Your Uncle, we have a rear bumper. Pre-dented, rusty, off kilter, and falling apart. Perfect. I'm thinking that under-valence could use some blackout spray paint though...
Front bumper installed (it's mounting brackets are bent too); tow hook dangling lazily underneath :
Petrol Lid finally painted and riveted on; no latch yet. Think the color is too subtle?
"Feed Me!":
Seat harness bolts attached. The right side goes into the normal seat belt attach point, however the left side seat belt attach point was covered over by the rollbar down-tube spreader plates (oops!) so I filtched some grade-8 seat attach spreader plates from the captains lounge chairs from the HattenBus and ta da! finally bolted back in. There is one of those thick gold plates on top and underneath the floorboards. Belts not tightened up yet.
Seat back support brace; spent a good 30 minutes creating a good pin to lock it in place, then accidentally found a perfect one at Tractor Supply when my daughter & I stopped there after gymnastics to check out the baby chickens. The proper pin is the gold half circle in the right half of the pic; ain't it cool:
