This is the build of my replacement race car. I crashed in the original car after a blown rear tyre and just two (and a half!) runs in it. I hope to update weekly even if I've only made a small amount of progress. Drop back and see how it's going.

The Napolean's Hat- The other side
With the left side welded the same process was carried out on the right side. In these two pictures you can see the extent of the removed metal (sorry for the less than ideal quality pictures, I think I must have been shaking a bit!). Also again note the way the framehead closing panel was cut to leave the original pressings intact whilst getting rid of the rot.
Repair panel cut and tacked in place from the back, once correctly aligned using the other new panels. This time the edge of the repair panel also needed some dressing as the quality of the pressing was not great Underneath you can see the original, corroded end of the Napolean's Hat...
...and the front.
Again this was then cleaned up and fully mig welded.
