Thank you for the upload, you have given me some ideas about how to make some replacement panels and how to bend right angles on flat steel.

Looks like you have done a good job, getting all the detail right & putting back the strength where it should be - well done! <br><br>When using the angle grinder it would pay to invest in prescription safety specs, I cringe when I see all those sparks flying around - I have been told it is a very painful experience attending A&E and having shards of metal extracted from the eyes...<br><br>Thanks for sharing look forward to seeing more progress!

I'm loving the commitment, I must invest in a bead roller. Tremendous amount of work that's paying off in shell stiffness, no wonder you sound a lot happier. Speaking of which Happy Birthday 🎂
