Hey Petros! Cool... I think you make it sound loads easier then it is. Are you a bodywork expert? Thanks for the tips much appreciated. I think I'd leave the welding to the welding dudes ha!

Looks like it's been patched over with some sort of sticker foam very odd, I'll make sure I do a better job at patching it up haha. Yea I'm trying to figure out what it is! Have been scrubbing at it all day. Was under the carpet so had to take that out as was also covered on the underside and rotting.
