Was out working on my LT35 last week(photos on Insta) started out sunny then as I was about to start welding I could see bad weather approaching in the distance. Set up everything and ‘cracked on’ ten minutes later started raining.. looked up at the sky it was still blue.. conscious every two or three seconds I was getting hit by the rain. In the end I only ‘packed up’ once and although I had a damp bit of cardboard to lie on I got two holes welded up. Would have done the third but ran out of mig wire. Rain didn’t stop play I was lucky that it looked worse than it actually was. Hoping to get the last hole done next time I’m home.. and the grass cut, and the broken limb on the beech tree that fell off last summer cut up, my Freelander transfer box rebuilt and turbo removed, assessed, … and a few other things. Top tip. Best not weld outside when it’s raining. That’s not my usual behaviour…
I had to remove mine as it had a crack and insurance wouldnt cover it as it didnt have an MOT, i had to do it by myself so id recommend two people as it was a pig of a job, if you dont want to spend 300-400 quid on someone doing it.
I'm going to follow the restoration
Nice one buddy 👌
I'm in the same boat rain is always stopping play. Whittling away at it nicely.
Getting there 👍
That bloody kettle! 😆

Arch looks wonky @2oclock position
Plenty of dents in it, I’ll sort it out when I do the panel work and filler
All those screws and clips are cheaper from TPS
How’s the new welder Matt?
It’s works a treat, world of difference its night and day, although I find it better using it on manual settings
Hi twiggs I have a front screen leaking on my vwt4 autosleeper is it a hard job to do.
Yeah you need to remove screen, last time I got autoglass to come out and remove it, I done the repairs and then got them back to fit new windscreen
