The parts have arrived from the UK and now I have to get my welding skills honed up to get everything back together.
All the bits I had to cut out, note the incredibly intact (not at all rusted out) crows feet. It seemed such a shame to have to cut out the crows feet especially when everything I read about Daimlers or Mk2’s show the crows feet looking like brown swiss cheese.
and the new metal ready to be fitted. Next step is welding everything back in place.
