Seconded, that was Amusing but in a painful way :shock: :lol:
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner

Thank you I'm here all week lol.

Have just stripped the interior out of the MG and put it up on axle stands, (supported by the jack how good am i?) Will do pic and see if I can post on here tomorrow but the offside has gone all the way through where as the nearside loks like the water or mud got caught behind the strenghtening plate and just rusted the inner arch. Hopefully can reuse the plate after treating and cleaning.

Might have been handy if I'd checked that I had some cutting disks instead of realising at 5.30 on a Sunday that I haven't lol.

Its all in the planning!
