Hi Jacek

It is very common to find bad rust holes just above the roof angle iron bracket.
I need to cut a 4 inch strip from mine and reweld a new skin. Lots of work to do the butt weld so it will be invisible both from inside and outside but we can do it if we take our time.

The same situation exists at the bottom of the back wall...... I will be removing all the back wall and welding a new skin and will need to fabricate the curved section of the bottom angle iron. Again vewry time consuming but doable.

Just came back in from trying to take more pictures and measurements. My two camera batteries ran out of power within an hour at -20C. so I had to cut my session short.

Last night the -27C was very cold...... my Ford Diesel which I forgot to plug in the block heater would not start and still will not start now. I have a battery charger hooked up to the battery and the block heater plugged in....... once fully charged I will try it again and keep it plugged in when parked overnight.

At least the house is very warm at +24C.

Will download the pictures I have and posted them asap.

Grant is correct on his assumptions that the dot fasterners were probably for holding the curtain bag in place.

Cheers
