Tub thumping.

Today was a day off work to make up for the day off 05 KD 28 yesterday. My aim was to remove the tub.

The supports came out easily. This finally allowed some reasonable access to the seatbelt bar bolts that remained. This removed I turned my attention to the last bits connecting the tub to the chassis; the rear lights. These had seen better days. The number plate lamp needed a visit from Mr Grinder.

A bit of time and effort finally removed all the lights and mounts. I even drilled out any snapped self tappers. Strangely the indicators were the hardest and it is also the indicators which are a problem on the front.

With the lights disconnected, and the final bonding strap removed I lifted the tub clear such that the full horror of steel and aluminium contact points could be witnessed.

To be fair it is actually in fairly good nick. The underfloor braces are ok and it really is only this section that needs work. I am not sure what work yet but it need something.
