Late S2, headlights in wings, looks like a S2 bulkhead - the windscreen hinges are right, still on leafs. Is the bumper held on with tiewraps? apart from that I can't see anything wrong.

Give that man half a Snickers!

Not just rotted, it looks like it was only half welded on in the first place. And then welded to rust.

Didn't need to cut the old one off, it dropped off on its own accord. That one inch of shiny stuff on top was were we wangled it off, that is all that was holding it on. Here's Lee cutting back to good metal.

There's better!

Neat and tidy!

Oh yeah, there's a flange on the replacement iron that runs along the cross member, the weld is painted silver - the perspective is a bit tricky in them photos...
