    Some various hole repair shots - all rust has been cut back square to clean metal - plates inserted and ground back flat.





    And I've started to clean up the plastics, with a wash and some vinyl and rubber care...



    So it's had nearly all the welding done but not completely finished yet. The inner arches once welding done are being stripped - the single skin arches seam sealed then gravitexed and colour coded.

    Hoping for some paint to be splashed on it towards the end of the month.

    It will be interesting to see how the single skin rear arches last compared to the normal way.
    Good work Nick

    Our SR just a little further progressed. Your photos look so very familiar the work done on ours ( especially the holes/ welding).

    Still looks great, totally standard rust places too. Good to see consistence in them.
