The metal on the Nuffield nose cone was badly rusted around the bottom and on one side, Harry asked me if I would weld in some new sections so he could use it again.
I began by cutting the rusted sections out, leaving only good metal to weld to.
Rather than tracing around the rotten edge I made straight cuts, as the repair always looks much better.
After I had cut the rotten metal away, I cleaned the paint away using the grinder to make welding with the mig easier.
After cutting the patches and tacking them in place I cleaned and welded the original fixing plate and edge piece on the inside.
