I'm not sure if there's a market for repaired stuff

It is pretty time intensive and fairly consumable intensive too. Despite my best efforts there always seems to be a bit of old bitumen somewhere that catches on fire and messes up my TIG electrodes. I spend a lot of time re-grinding and cleaning weld areas...

...here's making an oval hole for the indicator slightly less oval









All of these repairs are only made to a "will need a smidge of filler" standard. I haven't got the patience to make them really good.
