Default M8 restoration

Hi all,

This is starting to look like an M8 now. With the exception of some tidying up here and there, the hull repair is basically done. It came out really well and I'm glad we chose to do it this way.

Most of the welding work was done using a stick welder. The main exterior welds on the sponsons look very similar to the original welds and will just need a dab on the odd spot to really finish them off.
