"Clamped" in place with DESI pliers....and getting ready to draw a line from where he is going to cut the original / rusted panel...
getting ready to cut.....
Same torch is used for welding and cutting ...by using different settings and tips...
Cutting started....
Being done precisely.....
Half way through..,..
Almost there......
and rusted piece removed....
Rusted piece cut away and all healthy metal around....
Now this empty place is waiting for the new fabricated piece we just made......
The sad story and poor condition of the piece removed....Rust...Rust ...and Rust...
And the new one...hand fabricated.....
OK......Here is the comparison between new and old panel....
Lets fit the new panel in place.....
Beautiful alignment......
Gripping in place with DESI Grip Pliers....
Two are better than one......as you know...."AIK AKAILA DO GIARA"...
Initial spot at one end......
And the other end....just to hold it in place.....
Another view of initial spotting...
Now welding in detail...seam welding in process....
