Default Saturdays effort

Cut the back panel shelf that holds the stowage boxes on the rear of the hull off with Oxy, now to start grinding the off-cut dags. I removed this as it needs to be replaced, I would take a guess that this vehicle has had a minor rear end accident when in service.
The shelf for the stowage boxes is there and would accept the stowage boxes but it is badly mangled and out of shape. You can also see where it has been re-welded back on to the armour of the rear of the hull and brush painted green.
Removed the last of the little hull brackets and measured the hull mounting blocks in the front of the hull. I think it may be easier to make new mounting blocks and replace them than drill and tapping and trying to re-thread rusted holes. I did manage to get all bar 1 bolt out of the seat mounting blocks, so they will stay, will look at replacing the smaller blocks with the 1/4"holes.
