ok changed the title as it no longer has any rust.

Big thanks to the nice man with a set of axles. and the man with doors and the man with a seat box, oh yes and the man with the cappings

And to my helpers Wee Billy(not so wee), George who is now smitten with landies and finaly Scott.

what is the current rules on patch sizes for the mot, there used to be rules about how much origonal metal  is left. or did that go out when they brought in the seam welded rule?

mmm -suspicially fresh Bill

Could do with streamlining the winch bumper though  Might get the mpg of a diesel instead of a V8

Seriously it's good looking and with the welding you did it should last a long time
