Hiya Derrick! How you doing matey, good to see you back. Excellent welding as ever - not lost your touch.

so now all welded up and really solid inner wing and new chassis rail took a while but i am reasonably happy with the end result strong ,and no over lapping patches need a little more tidying

Good to see you back Derrick. I see you got one of those copper Eastwood welding backers! Useful things!

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Well done Derrick and welcome back. You have been missed.

That inner wing job must be very satisfying - good work.

Now 'crack on' and get it finished

So much work! Excellent stuff. Must be really satisfying seeing that chassis rail looking as good as it does in the engine bay ...
