Looking good, just be careful with the grinding, not too much heat

Drpete - looks like a very thorough job, excuse my ignorance but what is it ??

Excellent work, just be very careful with the welding, just a little at a time and then allow to cool, and then equally careful when you grind it, not to put too much heat into it

Perfect, and great use of some old shelving

Brian - Great job, exactly how I would have done it
Droopsnoot - Thats some challenge you have got ahead of you, that is a serious amount of missing and rusty panels

Using a section from a door sounds like an excellent idea and should save a bit of work Otherwise you want to make the repair panel almost all the way to the swage line and make the welded joint there, welding here will be better as the metal will be stronger and less likely to distort, or if you are very neat and accurate you could weld on the outside corner of that swage detail, that would then be quite easy to grind it off clean Both the methods you suggest would be fine, although there is nothing to stop you fully welding the overlapped joint as well and then putting seam sealer on from the inside. Either way, they should be welded in short tacks and left to cool between to prevent distortion, trust me it will be worth the effort

Nice job Jozi, and 10 out of 10 for persistence, the extra effort will be worth it in the end
Keep practicing the ribbing, your on the right track

Thanks Peter, too many projects, too little time, looks like a good contender for a rebuild though I have to say

Jozi - It would certainly be a lot easier making that stepped section in two bits, you could bend both the vertical flanges on, stepped as shown, but then the angled section to join them together would be welded in separately
Your other repairs look very thorough and well thought out
