Work has continued with the rear deck repairs, I’ve now welded on some fresh metal to replace the rusty stuff I ground out the other day.
I’ll be taking the rear deck back to the garage at the weekend for a test fit, to see what needs tidying up and fettling, then it just remains to sort out the deck itself and refit it all. After a bit of testing, I’ve decided against welding the seam, trying to get a decent seam weld into the gap is tricky to say the least – beyond my current capabilities anyway. So I think I’ll bolt it on as before, and run a little bit of seam sealer down the seam.
