1. Managed to find a replacement Cab
   The replacement Cab arrived today From a nice man in at Sheffield motor spares
   This one only needs the steps on both sides welding and a little on the inner wings wright at the front
   and the back of the cab is pushed in a bit

   
   
   
   

2. Cleaned up a little 🙂 can see all the rotten bits now 😮 what a little beauty it’s in good nick compared to my old cab, knocked the big dent out of the back of the cab, some dent in the roof need sorting, shoved the beacon on for a picture’
   looking forward to getting started on the welding,

   
   
   
   
   Some cutting out of the rot and some welding and priming done The stiffener for seat mount folded reay to weld in,
   
   
   Little bit of welding completed plated both sides with 1mm metel
   
   

3. Got about 60% of the welding done ,some box sections under the steps need a little work and the drivers side step to finish off, but the weather stopped play today, Well it was 19:00 so only lost about an hour lost, Also cleaned up some of the rust spots and primed them up ready for some paint,
   
   
   
   
   Managed to salvage a bit of the old drivers side step
   
   
   Rain rain and more blxxxy rain 🙁 just got the bottom left corner to patch now 😮 then flip it on it’s back and do the inner sills, Then it’s painting time B)
   
   Think I quite like this Green and Yellow of my nippy little rover 25 runabout, British racing Green Metallic
   

4. Managed to get a bit of welding done between the rain, off side Seat stiffener and removed the seam along the bottom of the sill,
