gonna cut this out big enough to get the new filler neck on then weld a new peice over it.

 

fingers crossed

 

 

well its worth giving the wife £150 for a weekend away didn't do anything i set out to do but after along time without being touched project got some work done.

my welder turned up to do a little bit.

 

Understatement for sure.

 

all project needs now is spare wheel tub welded in & drivers wing secured down A post. all welding complete.

 

Just secured storage for the all white for 5 months if needed so getting her shipped out then strip all underneath n paint.
