I say this because I just got my bill since buying the lair and they want 100 quid /month on top of what I pay now to catch up with my usage
I used my sds chipper a lot to get concrete up and knock walls down etc, I also spent maybe 5 hours welding the van. Lights are all led so I hope that is cheap enough.

I just took mine down to Lewes for a hospital thing and got a bit panicky passing the VOSA testing stop on the A23 (they were there today) as every time I go out to it there is more and more rust appearing on all 4 arches and the sills.
I really need to get mine looked at ASAP but was trying to wait for slightly better weather. This was to allow me to spend a few days trying to see what was surface and what was terminal rust and do a simple tidy up on the surface stuff myself to delay any major work. I now think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and hand it straight over to a welder - especially after seeing what you've found - it is making me paranoid!
Mine is a white twin of yours - would be good to see them together when all this lockdown stuff ends at some point!

Are you fabricating the inner wings yourself? I need to replace a small section where the bumper mounts on the n/s
