Update.

Started the welding most of it buffed down, need to get some primer on it and maybe some treatment stuff. Bulkheads looking slightly dodgy but with a little work will look good. Most of the mental is really thin on the bulk head. Anyway here's some pics

Rear plate tacked in


Pump hole welded over


Strengthening plates welded in




Heater matrix holes welded up


A big hole here welded up


Now the bulk head, what's thoughts?

Well found two holes in the front footwells. Had them welded up

Drivers footwell


Passenger footwell


Then noticed the drivers side jacking point was squashed and rotten!! So cut that all out and welded in a new plate




Now this might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like it ad it's different.
Strengthened up the strut tops for cage coming through


Then decided to make a brace






This will also support the skuttle as I don't have the bulkhead now
