Well after looking at all the great pics of everyone else's project, I finally got myself a MIG welder and a cool auto-darkening welding helmet.
Practised on some scrap first then bit the bullet and moved to the real thing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634533814.1.JPG) Only minor stuff first. Weld up holes in sail panel.

Welded up the hole for the lamp on the RHF fender.
Still needs some more smoothing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634533903.1.JPG) Started investigating the rust in the cowl area <!-- emo&:huh: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)<!-- endemo --> It had rusted in the usual place where the fender meets the cowl. The rest of the fender is pretty much perfect so I was not intending to remove it. Good news is that the rust hasn't spread to the actual tub <!-- emo&:D -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)<!-- endemo --> Don't know if it's better or worse now though <!-- emo&:headbang: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)<!-- endemo --> Any repair technique suggestions welcome.
