On from yesterdays mince and the discovery of an unwanted hole in the front cross member i decided to address the issue by removing the gash metal and replacing it as so:
Small rust hole

Bigger hole under the '1st skin'
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g.../engbay056.jpg
Rust cut out

And repair section made up and tacked in

And the cross member tidied up

Then i made up a new '1st skin' and welded it on

The welder then decided it was too hot so while it was cooling i cleaned up the front panel.
I used 80 then 150 grit pads on the DA then a bit of hand work on the arkward places then, some panel wipe and gave it a light coat of acid etch primer to cover the bear metal until i paint it properly.

And relax...any objections to the colour of this tea?

While the front panel was drying i got on with the stitching under the front wings and a few areas in the engine bay that i hadn't completed yesterday
