I was looking at a s3 109” csw last weekend. I counted 33 separate patches on the chassis, not including the replacement rear cross member and extensions. I decided it wasn’t the 109” for me. Admirable repair in your chassis, nice to see the alignment checks.
Good one. You should see my o/s front dumb iron! Don't believe it was trued up like yours, though it actually looks OK to the mk 1 eyeball. But the welding!!!! And it got a MOT like that
Seems a really professional job, Mine is very similar, did you find there was any spring on the rails once you cut the front off or did the engine mounts secure everything? Great content - Dave
Machine shop at the bottom of the garden You could have sleeved the inside of the chassis, and then slipped the new section over the sleeve a strong repair and looks invisible. I have built front dumb irons and rear half’s of chassis using this type of repair as it is strong.
@@roberthawkins4471So are you saying you would cut off the flared steel of the new section and replace with inner tabs and rosette welds? Cosmetics aside, surely the flared ends add continuity and strength, only needs rosette welds or as CSM does, a big X on each vertical plugged with weld onto the original?
Excellent work mate, thank you.
Very impressive. Keep up the inspiring work. Thanks for sharing.

Poor fitting if a front crossmember and dumb irons, you could have done a much better job.
how?
