The gearbox cross member is double thickness, I cut the first layer off and made a new piece. underneath looked pretty good, until I started tapping it with a tack hammer to see if I could find any rust holes, Unfortunately, I found plenty!
with the underneath repaired, I painted it, and prepaired to weld in a new panel. This shows what I cut out.
This shows just some of the crap from inside the cross member, and outriggers!!
After cutting the piece off, I realised that this out rigger was far worse than I thought, so I cut most of it out...
This shows most of the work completed, there is still a bit to do, I have dressed the welds on the gearbox member. That is about as far as I have got, It will be finished hopefully tomorrow evening if I get the time.
