Trust me that looks good, one of the plant hire places has a van a year old that the arches are smashed into completely different shapes, the ply lining got smashed in the 1st week...
Are you going to line it out when you are done?

I haven't boxed in Alex's either but they are a bit dented! Aftw the welding I just slapped a lot of Johnstone's metal paint in Gentian. It took 24 hours to dry! Tough stuff though, like rustoleum.
