The CJ6 as it arrived in the driveway
Partly Gutted
Nearly gutted interior
Onto the exterior
This is where dissembly stopped and the "building" started

A busy weekend wrenching in the driveway for Colin, Wolfe & myself - with a helping hand from ACJ & AussieCJ7 (thanks guys).
Sight milestone - Breifly got the engine beween the frame rails
Unfortunately had to pull it out again shortly afterwards to continue making the shackle mounts - but felt good to see the engine & diff clearance were ok. More updates later I guess

Nearly finished the shackle/leaf hangers. Should have them welded into place and the leafs in-place by the end of the weekend......IF all goes to plan (rarely happens).
REALLY want to have it finished LONG before the Jamboree - but much work to be done. At this stage target is end of June.
NEARLY fonoshed the hangers over the weekend - just a few more braces to get burnt into place
Then I'll snap a fresh pic.
BTW foranyone interested in the full writeup I am doing - I have it Here on our website.
Looking good Looks like you're getting a lot of welding practice too.

The frame is now nearly twice the original weight - don't want to know how much of that is welding wire
My welding isn't the worlds prettiest - but it should hold together
Just a few more welds and I can start painting the chassis.
A quick pic of my BootFabed spring hangers
Quick update - Nearly finished the frame - I am upto step 8 out off 11 to paint the frame
Edit here's a pic after coating with POR-15.
