	Photophukit seems to have a mind of its own right now. Nicola sent a few more pics of Harley that I suspect many of you will enjoy too. Loved a fire, also fearless of them, like with power tools. Surfing the web. Sweet innocent cat. And where this story really started December 2010 when I moved to this house and bought the Sachs Madass. Security checked by her. And a final good bye from Harley the Fearless. Set up in her new job now........ A happy girl. The house has been empty for sure, and one sees her and looks for her in all the places she should be. She will be missed,

	As this is an American car themed thread, here is my ride for the week while on a skiing holiday in the U.S I don’t know much about it other than it’s a Chevy Suburban and it’s the size of my house!

Pretty much spot on. They do take up a lot of real estate. Enjoy your break. If only I knew...... would have asked if you had space for a single patch panel in your baggage for that drivers door repair. Its a complex piece to make up. That would have helped of course. Guess its metal bashing 101 next.

	Sorry Grizz, no room, Ski stuff takes up all we have especially as skis are now classed as one of our bags 🙁 That should get the old grey matter working to figure that out!

	Grizz, thought I'd catch up on this thread and wish you a merry Christmas, but then read the news about Harley. It's really sad but at least it was relatively quick, and a decent age too. We lost one of ours earlier in the year (Em's nan's favourite - she always said she'd take him, and he went on the day of her funeral!) but he was 16 and had had a really good life. To keep the cosmic cat balance, we've adopted another one to add to the other five - we never get kittens, only full growns that need rehoming. Here's Monty, ready to take Harley on the next adventure. Take care mate, Neil (and Pagan, Jorj, Otis, Michael, Arlo and Luna)

	Ahhhh Christmas break. Many parts blasted and etch primed. Plus Photophukit playing up continually So not much to show. On Friday I realised that Murphy’s law meant one would run out of gas on a Saturday evening or some similar inconvenient time. So I called to order in a spare bottle of 5% Argon/CO2 Paying a bottle deposit and gas content came to £94.00 and included home delivery on Saturday morning Service worth paying for.

	Christmas Eve Day. Good time as any to start with the smallest Cut and Weld job identified so far. I will be over describing for many of you. But if like me, you have not done this before it may be helpful or not? So off to the “caraworkshop” Move tools into the “shed” and find some donor steel. Built this 100kg plus mobile work station in 2015. So moved it closer. Used it a few times since. Straight in with my trusty cardboard template and scissors Donor steel. 1965 C10 cab. As Paul Y said, if I use enough off this one I may need to add a new V5c registration document Piece is bigger than just the holes. Loads of old dents to cut out as well. First fold to 90’ then back to lay the base crease. Followed by opposite bend to complete the peak. Top and bottom curves added, they do differ a lot. Next up would be tracing the replacement panel onto the front panel Followed by cutting the bad metal out. Coffee break first.

	At this point I thought it wise to clean up my welding mask in preparation for the bit of welding coming up. Pooop. Auto dimming non functional despite this mask having had very little use to date. Tried the various setting buttons to no avail. Then tried opening it to see if batteries can be replaced as I always keep a large selection of batteries Nope. Sealed unit. Youtube.... ?? Success !! But pretty clear that its a difficult task to try work around the sealed unit etc. So I tried....... FAILED. REASSEMBLED and graffitied it as a POS. But would have to use it anyway as shops were shutting etc. Have to wait for Saturday as shops are shut. Burger !!! Have pencilled in getting one of these Later.

Rian - Just keep that ethos in mind has you will along the way hit a few fairly solid walls that you have to get over or around (hell if it happens to me then it's going to happen to everybody else) PS - bottom of that door - not a problem - you just need to reduce the repair into sections - leave it for now or bring it with you one day and we go through it together has a workshop exercise

	So......... Cat Stevens sang “The first cut is the deepest” Not sure if its that relevant to this truck, but once marked out, I fitted a new cutting disc and set to work cautiously Cut through. Then used a file to tidy up the corners and a flap disc to clean the etch primer away. More fettling and fine tuning needed. Everything takes time. But got it done. Then earthed up the front panel after practicing and lowering the power feed but increasing wire speed on some of the scrap metal. Started tacking one spot at a time to prevent warping. Ground back. Holes filled, dents mostly gone, needs a skim of filler eventually Etch primer both sides. And all of this just to remove this bit of mess. So that was day one. Two hours in total, start to finish.

	Nice neat repair Grizz. And with a little experience comes pace, without even trying.

	Rian - And that is how to do them - one at a time whilst taking your time - it will profile up well when you get to that stage - I have witnessed many well intended vehicle owners plunge head first into restoring something like this - chopping all the rot out - leaving little strength in what is left and when they stand back and look at it the confidence very quickly evaporates - when what something like this really needs is your methodical approach of completing one repair area before commencing the next
