That is a whole lot of new metal going in there, indeed! May I join the queue of people giving you justly deserved back-slaps, and wish you well putting your car back on the road in the best possible shape!
Thanks all for the positive comments.
I wish I could claim credit for the welding - but it's all Jamie - he is brilliant with a MIG - and made the project a reality.
My original gas welded repairs remain - part of me in the car !
Hi Peter,
That's where I come in after welding is finished.
Plan to - oxide all metal - smooth black Hammerite - seam seal all joints - black stone chip (or Shultz undecided) - Wax inject all cavities.
Some more pictures.

Repairs behind ( now redundant ) jacking point and revised jacking point
Below sill.
Love those revised jacking points. Wish I'd thought of that when I got my base unit fixed. I've said it before but I'll say it again; wicked work your metalworking mate is doing for you!
THat's pretty good. Black but no lumps of crud. Do you have the later heads with the cup type valve seals? In my experience these DO make a difference to the cleanliness of the engine and it should be remembered that with the small P6 sump these are an especially good idea.
