Mac - Obviously I had to make the Trainspotting quote a bit more "family friendly".

I did go through my box of bits and I couldn't find a spare for that hand brake nut you were looking for.

Christmas Preparation Check List:
- Bulk of Christmas cards written - Tick
- Shopping trip with family - Tick
- Festive DVD watched with family (Arthur Christmas) - Tick

Alternative Christmas Tree Chore:
The other day I had to clear all the branches overhanging into our neighbours garden...



So somewhere along the line I need to get this mess sorted out as well.
If you look closely on the left you will see filler dust from preparing the repair panel yesterday.
( I managed to cut the panel from the same filler caked wing as before. )

Car Work:
Managed to get a bit of time outside just as the sun was starting to set.

Welded the external support arm in fully along one side.



I then hammered the edge of the bulkhead over to meet the box section.



Then that too was welded to the box section.





I didn't quite finish this line of welding as I ran out of wire.
The new welder was supplied with 6mm wire, but I have a spare reel of 8mm.
It will not take long to switch it over, but it was already dark, so I did something else.

I hammered the repair panel I cut out yesterday into shape.



And this is it resting roughly in place.



It will end up a better fit when it is clamped into position and welded.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
