Repaired Toeboard

As I had access to a workshop with a guilotine and a folder I decided to make up the panels rather than buy them. I started by folding the two sections to the correct profiles. I cut off the surplus and used it for a trail run. toeboard1.jpg (16476 bytes)
After I had got the ends right I reproduced them on the real thing.

It was tricky getting it a assembled but I managed it.

I tack welded the inner panel in position then the outer one. toeboard3.jpg (20655 bytes)
When I have got my MIG welder going properly I will weld round the edges on the inside. toeboard4.jpg (10727 bytes)
The hole above the toeboard is an area of rust that needs patching. toeboard5.jpg (10244 bytes)
