now a little repair, the previous owner had butchered the battery tray off so this needed repairing

damage removed

new piece welded in

ground the welds up

from the rear, still needs a little grinding
so moving on to the bulkhead gussets cleaned up the lower corners, used a bit of zinc primer and did a little seam weld on the chassis that i wont be able to get to afterwards

gussets in
wont win any awards for neat welding but felt like shit all day plus they will be covered with seam sealer, and they have lots of penetration so more than up to the job
bit of zinc primer on top

finished job
