Will put a build thread up soon of it as still need to sort some photos of it. But Its something i dont think i will start for a while as need to save for a house etc so it will be a slow long process as it needs alot of work...

 

Yeh I can imagine i ripped the side of my hand open working on minis and needed 9 stiches in my hand and that was annoying but next day was welding and grinding on my mini sidewalk lol

 

Just dont get enough time for the projects atm and its doing my head in...

a question regarding the jig. Is it just 2 lengths of steel with some brackets welded on? Where do the brackets locate on the shell?

Excuse the mess the workshop is a tip when I took these pics
