After many, many, many hours I’ve finished the welding on the bottom of the inner frame for the N/S cab door.
I had this final gap to fill where the frame curves round to join the door skin:
Quite a fiddly bit to make, I ended up doing it in a few bits, but the end result looks fine and the skin fits well around it:
Then finally a thorough cleanup with Strip & Clean discs and wire wheels, and a coat of zinc primer. Much better!
I’ve not ground the welds down on the inside as it’ll be hidden when the skin is on, but i’ll put some seam sealer on them before I fit the skins. The outside will need a skim of filler along the bottom when I get round to the shaping stage.
Not bad considering it looked like this before:
Now to start the other side!
