Default replaced LHF side panel

From the advice gained in another thread, I proceeded to grind down a 45 deg edge on the LHF side replacement panel and fit the panel. Once straight and in the correct place, clamped it and welded it in.
Had some minor problems with the welder as the wire feed rollers spun on the mig wire, so had to replace the feed roller with a new one. A couple of the welds are not perfect, but they do look like some of the other dodgy welds around the hull.
Also replaced the 2 blocks that hold down the bracket for the front 2 gal water container for the MG.

Repalcing this panel was practice for the front panel section which will be next, having this panel removed from the hull made it easier to get in and out.
