In a slight segway from getting the engine running in XPO, this article looks at some of the smaller welding repairs that have been completed.

With the windscreen surround repaired and new glass in, focus moves to the scuttle. Refitting the blower, washer bottles and a small repair.
Next task is windscreen surround repair. While it is now looking epic, the offside A-pillar wasn’t the only rot at the front of the BX.
The Trima 1420 loader now adorning the Ford 7610 isn’t much use without implements. First up is a tractor bucket.
Taking a break from painting, in this article, we will look at wheel arch repairs to the fitch panel and wing bracket.
In the previous article, the repairs on XPO were finally completed and repainted. However, I soon find I’m unpainting the A-pillar!
With the welding finally finished, attention turns to painting the A-pillar. This several-month stage doesn’t end well!
Just when I thought I was done with welding, I realised I had best tackle the wheel arch repair before committing to paint.
While the big cut hadn’t gone quite as I hoped, welding in the repair panel goes a little better. Quickly the car comes back together.
