My surgery went well so time to get back at it. I can’t do any heavy lifting so I figure sitting on my butt welding patch panels in will be ok. Got the drivers side almost done but ran out of mig wire so will finish it up tomorrow and start working on the passenger side, then will move on to the smaller areas

Glad to hear your surgery went well and you are back at it.

I’ve not done anything to it aside from driving it and enjoying it. Once I get back to work and start recovering my funds I plan on doing some upgrades to it.

Passenger side is in just need to grind the welds down and make them flush. I still have smaller patches to do on the perimeters but the big sections are done
