Yell out if you need some steel. I could grab some from work. Have both 1 and 1.6mm.

Valley Steel Sales next door to our depot are very handy but not open on Sunday. Bunnings should have some sheet enough to do the job anyways. Drill some holes and do some plug welds might be a good way to go, have a practice first lol. .

So I got zip done this weekend. Will try and do some repairs during the week to get this sorted.
Slowly but surely. Will mig this 1.6mm plate into place. I’ve cut out as much rust as I can. The rest has had a good soak in the rust treatment stuff. The plates are a fair bit bigger than the affect area. I know doing a remove and refit is the best choice, but I am really not sure on what to do so this is what I’ll do and I’ll worry about it later. Good practice anyways.

Ok. She’s ready for the cut n’ shut. With a fubar’d back it was enough just getting the bar up on the bench.

I want to fill in these holes in the bar too while I’m at at.

Filled the odd shaped hole in on the top and the two large round holes.
Not a bad job for a noob welder.

Just waiting on an answer from ARB if the rubber bumpers are still available before I cut them out. The bolts holding them in are really rusted and need to be cut off.
I’m trying to get another weld on two aerial mounts from ARB as well. ARB being a customer of mine I have a few contacts on the inside so hopefully they come through with the goods. I might have to hit them up for some BP’s too I reckon.
Gotta weld in this plate to fill the front hole too.
It used to have a W in this hole for Warn.
