Well couple of hours Wed and Thu evenings along with a decent 4 hour morning stint today.

Bit of prep and gave 2 coats of hydro80 before some red oxide paint, front jacking point were a million miles off and even after some inital cutting and shaping work was some way off as per pic but persevered and happy with it....need to finish welding front section and a few tweaks to the tab etc but most of the hard work done.

Then played around for a bit trying to dissect before deciding to just cut out the rust repair needed and make a new one.....put up a decent fight but def worth replacing and can do most on the bench which helps

Tomorrow hopefully get some time and bit of seam sealing, fiinsh jacking point and maybe even fire up spot welder šŸ˜Ž

If you can make them fit, then they fit, pain in the arse, but that's how it goes, you'll get round it.
You're getting through it, that's all that matters, chip , chip, chip at it at this pace and it'll soon be done.
Enjoying watching your progress, great work, great thread
