So finally an update after some time, didn't get so much done, cause I'm at work all the time now.
I've managed to get my old PC into the garage and even conect it to the Intrernet, so I just need an bed and beerkeg and I've got everything I need down there LOL



Today i brought the flex out, and cut of all the unneed brackets and stuff, basicly only the main pipes are in place. When I think of it now, I shloud've made a completly new frame....

Before:




When I was at it I got an picture of the garage, all this needs to be sorted, needs new floor, electrification etc. etc...



Here is the chopped of frame, not much left huh?:



I wanted to start with the bracing today, but noticed the frame is bent and twisted, the front is wider than it should be, and sits about 2in above level on the right side and 1 1/2 on the left, so I'll need to fix that.

Started with some measuring...


Then found a chain and tensioner...PERFECT!

So I welded the first brace in, in this picture you can see nicely how te frame is twisted...


This is how the final bracing should be...
I want to use smaller diameter tubes to make it as light as possible...
