Well a chunk got cut out today with the limiting factors being the windscreen and the shell bracing(?) that runs underneath , what rustys bit was left were grinded until shiney and everything coated in kurust for good measure.
A plate got chemical metal bonded in which seems to be doing a bang on job and a big thanks to Karl for all his help today, without him the hole could well have ended up just being fillered over by me panicking about getting it done before the rust gets worse
Completely forgot to get some more photos but it's currently got some filler on that just needs anther couple of goes at to get it perfect before spraying up, just a shame the rain/snow keeps making an appearance
Also think I've figured out how this happened in the first place, the old aerial base has a rubber seal that goes through the larger hole. this seal has been crushed and not gone through the hole so water has been trapped or slowly let into the area eating the metal.
