Went back out to the garage last night as the Mrs was watching downtown abbey or some other shite.

Got the outer inner section in. Not the prettiest work but good and solid and it won't be seen. Had some trouble getting a clean weld in places with the flux cored wire.



I tapered the plate upwards on the left hand side so as to allow room for me to mess about about putting the curved end closer back on. The sill end where the curved bit goes steps in as well. Got some complicated fiddly work to do now as it will all be seen.

Curved end


Just been out to the garage and the car is covered in condensation (in the garage). Last night it was very cold with frost on our other car parked outside. But very mild now, that upward shift in temperature caused the condensation. Quite amazing but not good for welding. Just as well I got everything covered in weld through primer.

Might dry the damp out with a heat gun and have a go at the tricky outer and visible sill tonight after dinner.
