Also used a flapwheel on all my engine bay welds to flatten them off so you can't see them through the new seam sealer

lol National Day, no chance. Thanks for all the comments.
I did extend the hole actually after your suggestions, see the top of page 12 with the bulkhead penetration photo, you can see it in that pic.
Cool thought so that's why i asked ;)
Spent yesterday and today afternoon doing a bit more on this. Welding ability has come on quite a bit which is good so went over some old welds and neatened them up a bit.
Better pic of the repair I did on the pass. side bay seam. Was a bit grotty and although previously repaired was a bit bent out of shape and thin in places. So I plated the whole lot up, will tidy it up with a bit of filler and sealer.

Found more rust here, so cut it out so I could treat inside the box section and plated it up.

Manky bit of crossmember plated.

Behind pass. turret plated, welded the metal underneath to this plate to make a complete repair. (I know it looks crap but it's hard to get a nice angle and steady hand here! lol)

Thought strengthening the engine mount brackets would be a good idea (!?!?) so stitched around them.

Then discovered my slam panel was fairly manky at both ends. Contemplated a new one but I'd still need to repair the drivers side hole in the inner wing so might just plate them up.
