Finishing up the left hand door opening

in Build-It7 days ago

With the scuttle welded back in place I could proceed with closing up all the last of the places where I had cut rust out around the door frame.

First a piece was cut to shape and bent to close up just under the scuttle, with this in place I took a flat piece of sheet metal and cut it to size to complete the top.

With that welded in and a bit of grinding done I finally welded in the section for the bottom to close up the sill. I made this months ago and have been putting off welding it in as I was not sure how much grit, rust and rubbish would be collecting inside it as I worked on the top.

The gaps will get closed with seam sealer, after I put on some paint to seal the metal.
