Didn't sail through this time, had to have the front valance off and do some serious welding to the frame-head (the valance does a good job of making everything inaccessible and makes some potential problems worse!) - so here's a heads-up: There are drain holes in the frame-head and at the bottom of the suspension towers and if you don't keep them poked out you are saving up a whole lot of pain for yourselves! Also discovered that whover built mine originally drilled down through the font of the shell and embedded gutter bolts pointing thread-down, then filled over them as a method of holding the front on........ Lovely! (and they had rusted mostly through over the years)
Anyway, all done now, new underframe panel and all the gash stuff replaced, everything galvafroided and it'll get a coat of black before Waxoyling. And it's legal for another year....
Just found that the alternator has decided it wants to chuck out 15 to 17 volts, so that's going to have to be sorted before it frys the battery - there's no extrnal box with the after-market Bosch 51 Amp ones, so I bet it's a 'scrap it and see' item! Anybody had any experience with adjusting output/getting replacement regulators?
