Those covers have come up a treat.

I hope the welding goes well, I've never tackled anything really rotten but I'd guess that unless it's cut back to solid metal it'll burn through really easily and spatter badly.

Keep up the good work, those 24V PRVs are something really special, I still remember that quick trip around the block at Wetherby.

Very sorry to hear about the rust issues Paul and I hope you manage to sort her out soon! My 24v needs a bit of further welding on the front offside cill against the wing with the bottom of the wing looking very frail as usual. I notice you are leaving the moulded strips exposed on your rocker cover that will look quite jazzy! With regard, Matthew T.

Well, got the 24v Subframe off this evening to see the full extent of what to do...

I have been presented with this:

You are lucky to have got the subframe off without damaging any off the rotten shell.

Good luck with the repairs! Cut and Shut anyone?

Definitely a bit flakey there Paul, but not insurmountable.
