im shocked to see what its like under the surface, it looked mint last summer.

Yeah me too! I've known for some time that the floor and lower areas would be needing attention at some stage, but I didn't expect it to be that bad. I'm hoping the other side won't be so bad.. There's virtually no rust at all on the upper body.

Where did you store it over the winter? In a stream?

Admiring your ability (with green eyes) to make up replacement parts.

Flo's looking great.

Haha close.. under a tree! I had expected to get on it straight after Christmas, but I was made redundant in the new year so it sat for longer than I wanted.

What do you use to dress down the welds?

Metal grinding stone on a grinder, followed by 60 grit fibre discs on a backing pad on the grinder, and a die grinder and a belt sander for tricky bits.

Ah right cheers for that, I`ve just been using the metal grinding stone and wondered if you use something a little less harsh.

It's just a normal 4.5 inch grinder with a metal grinding stone, the same grinder but with one of these with a 60 grit fibre disc, a die grinder with a conical metal burr, and a normal 520mm long belt sander.
