well did some more after work last couple of days
ground welds and put some filler on for smoothing out
had to fix a bit up the top of the window ,saw some bubbles on the roof corner,hit them with the grinder and ended up with 2 5cent peice holes.Go with
grinder in hand to junk bus and presto new bit of roof and windscreen edge,now welded in ready for a clean up and smooth out,but how do i get the
lichen back on the repair,i suppose only time will fix that

Excellent rust repair work!
Might have to leave my kombi round at your place for a while and it might have a few less holes in it.
Well done. Great to another one being saved.
Cheers,
