I did get the pieces of sub rail chassis that I cut from the other van welded into place, after dragging together with endless chains.
I must have walked around from side to side about 30 times, getting down underneath to lie on my back and measure that all things were equal, straight and square.
I welded the floor inside together.
Good or bad, I have wire brushed and rust treated the overlapping surfaces before welding.
I have had to rent the oxy/acetylene to be able to beat this thick metal into shape.
It is not like a modern vehicle where you can smooth the tin with your thumbs.
I also removed the door latches and made them work again [that was easy to say]
Next week to join the sides
