Next update:

Body floor is cut and held in with Sikaflex 221 adhesive/sealer, it's
pretty solid to walk over and feels nice and firm. Winch mounts are
already in place below the floor, we have to make up spacers to carry
the winch bolts through the floor and onto the 2" box section
underneath.

Checker plate is 5mm heavy duty stuff and is really only for where the
engine trolley wheels run. Lashing eye holes are at each corner,
bolted through the honeycomb floor with steel spacers onto guesseted
corner brackets.

Last holiday weekend we got a lot more done:

Today we had a truck arrive with the main side panels, 24ft X 8ft by
14mm thick, GRP on plywood.

Couple of hours later we had them cut to size and the wheelarches and
front frame cutaways done.

The front panel is uncut, it's 8ft square and we should be getting
that erected tomorrow, ready for putting up the sides over the holiday
weekend. Lots of material left over, we started at 196kg per sheet and
got it down to 136kg per sheet, which makes them much more handleable.

I'll get some more pictures taken over the weekend and post next week.
