I forgot to mention yesterday, that when I looked over the three radiator ducts I have, they were all less than ideal. With some reluctance, I have come to the conclusion that I will have to make one good one out of two (possibly the three).

This is the side I will be replacing. Someone has had a thorough go at repairing this once before......but failed with the welding. I used to weld like that, sometimes still do

Two of the three remaining sides are not too bad and should be repairable without too much surgery. The third side I did some panel beating on last Sunday. It should be OK with a little skim of plastic filler.

God I hate panelbeating
