Some of the pitting went over half way so I welded, ground, welded, ground, welded and ground until I got a reasonable flat surface. I'll finish that part tomorrow!

I have finished the Engine/Radiator plate and cut out all the old one or what was left of it.

All welded in and a lick of paint including the front floor area. I also decided to remove the old exhaust protectors and replicate them also.

The carrier has also been turned up side down which makes the exhaust, diff and wheel stations much easier to fit. I made 2 new muffler heat shields and welded them into place so it's all ready for the exhaust to be fitted.

I did some hunting today to find some mufflers with the round ends and drew a blank everywhere I went so I thought I would have a try at making some.
I found some 40mm thick plate and welded a locating piece of steel in the centre and used for the chuck to hold on to. I machined it to the shape I wanted and that is my top part of the press tool. the bottom part was obviously a female part. I just roughly put them in the press with some 1.2 steel that I cut in a bit of a circle and to my surprise  it actually did a neat compound pressing and to the size I need so now I can go ahead and make the mufflers. Happy Chappy
