First I wanted to only remove the paint on the places that are spot welded. But I was not convinced that the black paint would prevent corrosion so I removed it all.
The metal was not very straight.
And the final check if everything is still aligned.
Created a small welding tag to keep the front in position.
The result was good so made a solid weld now.
Welding the ears was dramatic, could not manage to put a clamps on it.Also i used to much inox spray probably so a lot of spatter. In the end it’s not nice but it is okay.
