    Major progress

    Managed to get a whole lot done since the last update...

    Fabricated this bit for the front left:

    Welded in:

    Fabricated this bit for the rear left and welded it in:

    Cut the last roof patch piece and tacked it in:

    Welded up and ground back:

    Propped the roof up to get better access to some bits at the edges I needed to weld:

    Clamped up the front of the roof to the windscreen frame, welded it in, then ground it back:

    Dropped the roof back down, and applied a ton of clamps and some straps:

    Commence far too many plug welds:

    End result: roof skin now bonded to body:
