    Awesome work Ian

     

     

    Well done Ian. :thumbs:

     

    Thanks chaps :thumbs:

     

    Right, I'd better get this update posted while I'm still awake enough.. It's been a day of lot's of visitors !!

     

    The fender pan is just about done, just a little tidying around the new mounting hole thingy to do.

    The hood has had an extra repair patch where I found a few more rust holes..

    I was going to patch up 3 rust holes on the top of the hood, but I was able to get away with filling the holes with weld,,  Kinda blend in don't they :)

    A bit closer with the flash turned off you can see they still need a little grinding down.

    Despite the (what felt like) constant stream of people in and out the shack today I did manage to make a start on the seat pan repairs..

     

    A cardboard template..

    And some galvanized steel to make the repairs from... A bit thank you to Pete for grabbing this and other bit's of steel before they went into a skip  :thumbs:

    The first attempt didn't go to well and the angles were way off!!

    Like any good engineer I blamed the cardboard template, and made another template from masking tape :D

    This time the repair patch fit's a lot better, it just needs a little trim and shaping to get it spot on..

  2. That's a great find Chris, a nice price too....    I have a feeling that the cutting deck and mule drive have been through my hands... Can't be 100% sure... What's the previous owner story about it?
