I used the grinder to flat off that battery ridge, then decided to lever it off with a screwdriver, and had to weld the holes up anyway. But in my welding frenzy I filled in this hole which is used for the brake setup, doh lol So I'll drill it off and weld another one in from my spare Nova:

Also attacked this area which was quite manky with rust killer:

Well chuffed with how my slam panel repairs have come out (see a few pages back where I cut out the rust from either end)

Thanks chaps. Quite happy I've managed to get a bit done tonight ready for the weekend.
Cleaned out my spare shell to get this bracket off. Had to remove all my crap and the dashboard/pedals etc to get to it:

Also got some strut top mounts (before anybody says it, yes I know everybody says they're useless, but I reckon they serve a purpose

And they'll add less then half a kg to the car:

I fitted the top plates too. Vaux fitted them for a reason and besides, they make the bay look more beefy & purposefull.
