1983 series 3 radiator panel repairs

Just a few piccies of my repairs, new bottom part plus a couple of pitted areas.
Replacement bottom was supplied by Welding Wood. I am quite pleased with the end results considering my welding skills are very basic.

That's a lovely bit of work! Nice one.

Does your have an angle welded to the inside, is that it in the photo sideways on? Mine did and it acted as a water trap. I had to drill the spot welds and get it off before I could repair then replace with new angle.

Only the frame plates on the back which were spotwelded on. Nothing in the way of a water trap.

I am part way through doing the bulkhead and am getting them both galvanised along with other smaller parts.

That's a great bit of welding, you'd be welcome at my place anytime, bring your mask.
