Look how bad it is!
Current state of bulkhead . . . there was just so much rust and rot that the best thing to do was to just cut it all out, this corner here is the worst of the bulkhead , but youll see from the other pictures, theeeres so much more!
As you can see, the ten years out in the field hasnt done the bulkhead any favours but on the bright side, the rust hasnt rotted through to the inside panels so its quite repairable!
Heres a picture of the handy work of old franky! He litterally just looked at the hole, took a few measurements and disappeared! within five minutes he came back and this is what he had, its not even welded in or anything, that plate is just sitting there!
Theres the genius at work!
and theres the ouput! We decided that when the jeep is done that the tyre will always be on the bonnet, however even then , because of the the thin steel on the bulkhead where the hinges are placed, every time that youd need to open the hood, youd have to take the wheel off to avoid creating damage. However we have devised a simple solution, we linked the inner pannel with the outer pannel with solid steel inbetween before we put the hinge back on, making the bulkhead as sturdy as ever!
