For those missing rust, here is a little fix. My smallest Project 2 patch. I have been putting this one off for weeks, tossing up silver solder or MIG. Today being a humid stormy day ideal for not much, I bit the bullet and went MIG. You can see that the patch is larger than and inside the hole because it's easier to hold the patch with my little magnets. They are handy bits of kit those magnets.
That is the last rust work forward of the cab wall now complete.

Brett, do you have issues with the MIG and magnets? Mine are out of a couple old Hard Disk Drives and the weld goes to sh!t if I get too close to them.

No not really Scott. I get them off as soon as it's tacked securely, but not noticed any affect so far. Pain in the butt with picking up filings though.
