Public holiday so I worked in the morning and then head off to the workshop 10 minutes away.
Allen was there working on his Pinz. Only one thing to do tap the roof dents more. Then it was lunchtime at restaurant "Silly Billys" how apt.After lunch they started welding up the holes in the cabin but the welds were not sticking on the back panel due to the rust content. So we marked the strip covered by the channel and I cut it out. We are going to weld a new complete rear panel on after I clean the rust up with PYE.
Then it was back to the roof tapping until 5.30pm its starting to look ok 3-4 more hours and the roof might be finished and shaped and smooth.
We discussed how to fix the rear panel I might have to make pieces by hand to weld in.
The rear panel after I perform the surgeons cut.

The roof damage is slowly being pushed back to the factory standard.
