Just signed up cheers jono

some more progress

[project mini chris]

Right, I spent 4 hours down at the garage today, 3 hours it took me to prep the panel and tack in ( 4 attempts ) into place Then about 25 mins to weld and begin to grind down some welds



there ya go welding is pretty stodgy for my first attempt but welds should grind up ok
