Update... tried MIG on some test scraps of metal naturally before going straight to the frame. Varying in thickness from 1.5mm down to 0.8mm. Blew straight threw the 1mm on the first pulse!!! My vernier calliper is saying that the seattube is 1mm - so I’ve held off for now and gotten in touch with a good friend who has kindly accepted to tig and fill with brass in any spare time he has. Should hopefully be by the second/third week of Jan I reckon
Since that has been put on hold for a bit I thought I’d crack on with trying to bring back the paint as best as I can. You can see here that the lacquer is peeling so it will never be what it once was but can try to make it a bit more respectable
