Most of the welding on the chassis now completed. Most of the repairs have been TIG welded, plus a few bits of brazing. Originally hot rivets were used, so to keep it looking right dummy rivet heads have been built up with weld. There were also over 30 holes that have been drilled in the chassis from it's earlier life as a special. These have all been welded in. Sandblasting and paint next week??
| Rear of section of the chassis rail had to be removed. |
| New section made and welded up. The rivets are 'cheat'. Blobs of weld! |
| Rusted away..... |
| New metal welded in. Rivets made from steel rod. |
