It's certainly trying it's best mec! 
So on to the front frame extension, some more new parts had to be made.
The rust sandwich had caused some extra areas inside the cones to become weak and the steering rack mounts inside the frame extension had signs of blistering.

Time to start cutting lol....
Extension not quite finished, a few more bits to fettle to get it 100% but a major psychological step forward I think .
The Crossmember dividers supports and towing hooks etc need to go back on but alot closer to the finsh line than before hopefully .

The front shock towers were next to be tackled. Very like the frame extension seemed alright from a distance but on closer inspection things weren't right, Nicky was not happy with them. Some more surgery required.
