Managed to make a start today.
The holes have got slightly larger. :lol:
A rain shower meant that I only managed to get one side plated, as I don't think the welder is water resistant, and a coat of rust converter on.
Hopefully get the other side done tomorrow if the weather stays dry.

Bit more done, unfortunately the tank platform metal is like tissue paper.
Still need to repair the section below the tank where it meets the engine compartment side plate.

I seem to have lost a bit of enthusiasm this weekend, so all I did this morning was clean up under the tank platform and spray a bit of primer on.
And put a couple of coats on the alternator tin, although it was a bit cold for painting if the truth be told....

What's the plan si? Roof and be watertight or carry on with the engine first?
Could all run concurrently Shaun. :roll:
Going to gut the interior as well to get the roof done.
