Repaired front cross beam

Even though the body is on its side I have show these photos the "right" way up.

The cross beam, which is at the rear of the passenger compartment floor, was rusty. 1_small.jpg (1514 bytes)
As I had a spot welder I decided to take out the full width of the underside panel and spot-weld in a new one. 2.jpg (6721 bytes)
As some of the front surface had also rusted I cut that away and made an angled sheet to weld on top. 3.jpg (6648 bytes)
I managed to spot-weld the front sheet on even though there is a reinforcing plate behind it. It was then easy to spot-weld the bottom plate onto the flanges. 4.jpg (8525 bytes)
