I best crack out the grinder on mine over the winter then, that's a fair bit of weight.

a bit more progress





im gonna be painting the inner arch because of the repairs so it made sense to stitch weld the turret on that side at the same time

also repaired a hole in the sill next to the rear arch. before i finish off the arch area im gonna cut the lip off and weld the two skins together for future tyre clearance a well as getting rid of more rust
