Ok here is helga at my wifes uncles place.
The first pic just shows her they way I bought her.
I got her home and the p.o. Didn't take care of her at all. So when I got her home the next day it rained pretty good. Well the leeks showed up. Every where in the cab. Well it was the roof rack that was leaking really bad. So I took it off. Took her to my uncles.
The second pic shows that we just hit it with a grinder to get the rubber plugs out and rust.
the third pic shows my uncle welding the holes. How we did it was cut up some scrape metal just about 1/8" bigger than the hole. I held the square metal up by a screwdriver and he welded it in place. We left the center so I can just use some bondo. I don't like to use bondo but at least it isn't very much.
The fourth pic shows the little piece of metal we used and the fifth pic shows one of the holes al done.

Just a heads up when your linking photos from photobucket... if you use the links where next to the pic it shows
Share|Edit|Delete|Move
Email & IM
Direct link
HTML code
IMG code
If you copy the IMG code and put that into the post rather than a LINK it will show the pic in the thread not a link...

Sorry it took so long to say thanks for fixing the pictures for me. Between school and fighting mrsa in my hand I haven't had time to do any thing. I didn't forget about this thread. As soon as I get healed from my wound and infection I will be working on her on the weekends.

Take care of that hand. I had something like that in my hand once and was about 20 minutes away from amputation.
