Been doing little stuff while I’ve not had a chance to get gas. Also been doing bits on pig.
So much corrosion was on rear quarter. I dug it all out, then epoxy primered, then filler, then etched the bare stuff then dolphin glaze.

Stripped rear door down and window frame needs a new bit making.

Took all Seam sealer out of the door skin folds, cleaned all back and have applied hydrate 80

Finally, got some gas and new gloves. The welding supplies shop I use is sooo helpful and really good blokes.
I said my earth was too tired and in the way so he made me a nice thick one up with a new clamp.
Annoyingly, I assumed it would be a post earth but it’s not. It’s a daft hard connecting thing.
So I ordered one of the joiners below to suit the 25mm.

Got the suspension section welded in then stopped and moved onto my other D1 as thought I’d left my drill at home.
Turned out to be in back of truck whole time 😂
I think, I’ve just fuel tank strap bracket left to do on chassis.
Also, been soaking this for long time. Not budging. Soaked and welded nut on, soaked again, nice and hot, smoking like hell. still didn’t budge and stud just snapped. I want it out as want to rebuild the step but it’s seriously stuck
