Looks innocent enough. I knew it was there before i started the 'smoothed arse' but didnt realize how quick i would have to re do someone else bodge patch. Why people weld a patch over rot is beyond me!

Cut that lot out and noticed more rot on the inner skin! The way they built these things is a bloody puzzle!   |

Looking like a good job that. Mmm welding upside down, I love the way it always goes down your overall arm and sizzles for a bit... The pain helps offsets the thrustration of crap welding and arm ache. :)
