Welding frame front windshield 122S

When the front windshield was removed I discovered some rust holes underneath the window rubber.
Oww, I'm not a very good welder... But it would appear I was in luck knowing a qualified welder :-). Myk, a friend from work happens to be a first class welder.  I could borrow a Gasless welder from another friend at work and last saturday and sunday Myk started welding the holes in the frame of the front windshield.

Next thing was the Anchorage for the rear bumper on the left side. It was way more work than I thought. First We had to remove the old rusted one, it was spot welded to the spare wheel well. After grinding for an hour or so the old one was removed and the surface was smooth enough to weld on the new anchorage. In order to tack it on exactly the right spot we took the rear bumper and while I was holding it in the right position Myk tacked the anchorage to the body. After welding I sprayed zinc primer on the weld and surrounding bare metal. The next day I covered it with a thick coat of bitumen/ sound deadener.
