Tin worm!

Ok.

Nice sunny day, off work all week so doing those little jobs on my Landrover.

Set to with the waxoyl today, before the wet of winter sets in. Having a good poke around underneath with a screw driver and wire brush ii was pleased to have a sound chassis.... Except for two spots on the rear crossmember.

Usual place, anyway dug at them and decided to repair them. Found a bit of steel sheet about 2.5mm. Not measured it.

Here is the process. Haven't really used a welder before. Tacked a few bits together so quite pleased with the results

Pics below ... One side

Needs more paint but only had the drabs left in a rattle can!

Other side is basically the same, can't be bothered to upload it from my phone

That looks pretty neat.

Thanks. Very pleased for my first go at repairing something with a welder.... Don't want anymore practise on my motor though

That looks a lot neater than mine, I just welded a bit of plate over the top
