Started the week by grinding off the welds on the front mud wing, revealing a few pinholes along the way, most of which I managed to weld up succesfully. The results look very good, so far. A few other odd jobs included installing the remaining screws in the horizontal beading where the holes had become enlarged and needed padding out. Attention then turned to reassembling the MW nearside rear axle and starting work on the offside, which required a lot of cleaning down. In between I continued work on the new battery boxes for HUO.

Collected the new fron mudwing, in two halves from Geoff Brown, he made a superb job of it. Continued working on the MW after that, making gaskets and fitting oilseals etc. Once all the components were ready for assembly, I left that job and moved on to fitting the new front mudwing on HUO. I first mounted the front half to ensure alignment with the front dash, then positioned the second and marked it up for trimming. Having trimmed it, I tack welded it together, then completed the welding. Looking at the photo of HUO 513, I need to narrow it off a bit before final fitting.
