never built off a frame befoe.....well never built anything befor lol



granted the frame needs sorting but would be a shame to cut it up

not a profesional but i would say that centre tunnel needs more triangular strength to start with,

I agree, and there ought to be some side rails above the sills and some triangulated braces across them too. There won't be much torsional stiffness as it is and in flexure...

If I were you... I would post as many photos and details as you can on www.locostbuilders.co.uk and some clever spark will point you in the right direction smile


Good luck
