The cutting starts...

Had a bit of time to get dowm to the shed after being away/too busy for 4 weeks. Had a great sesh yesterday & today. Most of chassis rust is cut out. Decided to take nose off after uncovering a pretty big repair. Would just be repeating the bog performance I took off if I kept it. Happy for advice from anyone who's done one. Another dodgey repair unearthed on RHR 1/4. Will start my bit's list and considering selling my first born to cover costs-but I'm having fun! Had a bath for the first time in years last night-beautiful rust patina ring! Wife not happy!

Good work there cozza can you buy the entire front nose panel to replace might be easier than cutting the bottom and trying to match it up
