So back to my progress update for tonight and would you believe it welding in more new metal! This as actually been over the course of some weeks, just because it has been hard finding the time to get into the workshop. But during this time I have been moving closer to finishing off the triangular support.
This job has been in two parts. The first is to weld in place the new repair panel as shown here below. There were still plenty of gaps that needed filling by welding.
The second part was to make a bespoke repair to replace the rusted outer section.
It was quite fun to try and create the slope of inner triangle by hand, but I think it is close enough.
This new repair only has a few more welds to go before it is finally all in place. This area has certainly taken longer that I first imagined it would.
UPDATE
Here is the repair finally welded in!
What a difference to how it used to be...
Nice! I hope you've gotten real good welding equipment there, not only for finishing the job at the moment, but also for it to last in the long haul. Anyway, I hope you're progressing well with that. Thanks for sharing! All the best!
