Hats off to you pal! Cracking project. Loads of pics to back up the work too.
once them welds are dressed back with an air grinder theyll look pukka.
Great work , just finished reading from the start.
Thanks and yeah, I'm really glad I went the full hog now.Quote:

Just to clarify this isn't a defensive reply, I'm genuinely interested to hear your thoughts!
Looking good! Serious amount of work gone into this so far!
Yea just all in general, not saying your welding looks shiz thats not what I mean at all! But if it were me, I dress them so once painted its basically looks like a seamless join, almost as if they were pressed panels as opposed to fabricated if that makes sense?Quote:

Following a little training from him that day, I practised and my confidence has grown and I've been doing the rest myself and will most likely finish it too, unless I decide to get some bits tig'd. Patience and practice my friend.Quote:
