Over the last few days I welded in strips to rear of front bulkhead so that repair sections are supported where they meet the existing steel. Next, I welded in a repair section below the forward facing window and the remaining piece of the repair to the front bulkhead. Ground back most of the welds, a little left to do then need to obtain the right kind of fixings to secure it to the woodwork. What looks like blobs of weld is in fact a trick of the light reflecting from where the weld line and nearby metal has been ground flat.

Removed the forward-facing window in the front bulkhead and then cut out the rotten steel sections below the window.
