well i got me front strut tops finished to nite rewelded them get rida the rolled lip
looks better well i think so just need grinding down ,when i get some flag wheels in morning , going auto jumble for some
this is to exstend the rear diff mount at each side hav some 1/2inch solid bar to weld in side it for strength
shud get bit done tmro if i can get some steel at auto jumble
ps if any one thinking why havent i masked screen up sadly when it can to me it had grinding sparks already in it so there not much point as it will need renewing

That does look really quite good mate, a lot of grinding to smooth all the welding but it does really look tidy for your first one like. What's happening with other one then, and does you missus know you keep taking pics of her baps when she's asleep for your avatar???

well after running around for over hour 1/2 me dan managed get some steel
dan been great help to day cuting templates for me alday cheers bud
we managed get mosta bulkhead dun just bit on drivers side to finish next week ,then it will go on spit to weld the underside an the compression strut mounts which will be no easy task with all the angles andy an team make it look easy,i no one thing its easier to not bother with the focus heater matrix like he duz
