Cut up some 50x50 box and offered into position... no definite plan... just doing a LeePoo...
run out of argon... will get some tomoz. £25 for a 10 litre bottle.

Nice work! 
Out of interest, what did you pay for the rear end of the Mini?

Riveted box in position prior to welding
Trying to work out tow hitch arrangement.... may put a 50x50 piece across the subframe and a T piece towards the front.
I like the idea of a 45mmx45mm box sleeved into the front piece so it can be removed and the trailer stood upright for storage...??
