Raining hot metal shavings

Here's John upside down drilling overhead. To drill metal you need low revs and lots of pressure, but pushing up against gravity makes the pressure a bit of a challenge so the revs were up a bit and the resulting hot metal shavings didn't feel all that good as they rained down on your head.

First take off bumper bar (thanks Don for lots of help), disconnect lights, whack off captive nuts with cold chisel and big hammer. Drill 8 more holes in chassis rails to take more and bigger bolts to carry heavier bar.

Then it's just a simple matter of lifting up the 100kg bar with one hand while threading a bolt through a little hole with the other - not really a one-person job - thanks again Don!

Now to get all the lights working.....
