Now time for the bad parts... the rot :( Ive spent about 2-3 weeks getting it all welded up and back to roadworthy condition, i think it had been sat with the rear end in a hedge or over grass at some point as the back end was rottern! Its had a replacement chassis leg made and welded in, numerous holes in the rear panel patched and welded, along with the entire headlight surround being re-fabricated, i'll admit its not the best thing to do but this is purely a winter hack for me to use, so i couldnt justify spending money i haven't got on new panels at the moment
Anyways here we go... Headlight surround area
