    Couple more hours spent on the cruiser this afternoon, got the last patch panel shaped, cut out and tacked into place.
    Tidied up a couple of welds on the side panels I did last visit. Will finish pulse welding the last panel in then there's a heap of grinding and sanding to tidy up my average welding
    I also noticed a couple pin holes I the roof along where it was chopped, so they well need some attention next visit too. Then the last panel work before prep and paint will be to weld up the bolt holes where the factory flares used to be. Making good progress every visit, so I'm happy with that.

    No pics today, but spent the day getting the pin holes in the roof welded up (prick of a job as it was thin).
    Then got all the bolt holes where the flares would have bolted to the front guards welded up.
    Good progress, next trip will be lots of sanding so I can finally start spraying the roboliner inside and out.
    Was very grateful to have a more experienced mate help with welding the roof as I may have ended up with a sunroof or cabriolet if I did it

    Hopefully get some sanding done in the next week or 2

    Spent some more time on the truck today, ground off a heap of sloppy welds slapped on a heap of filter (most of which will be sanded off).
    More good progress, next trip will sand back the filler and check for any low points, then it's on to paint prep
    Will also include some pics of the guards now the flare holes have been welded up too.
