Yep it'll be getting weighed in if it ever breaks on the look out for a bigger one atm anyway just so I have more choice over amp range
Think a 250 should do nicely if I can get one for about £60

Looking good.
Doc, have you considered searching out one of them army mess tents? Perfect for a temp garage and heavy enough not to blow away and they heat up nicely when flaps are down

Stuff in that tub wont be doing much washing its a mix of oil and some coolant that accidentally fired in there when I took the plug out!
Be using a few ladles of the oil and some derv mixed with tetroseal for sorting the chassis though

Put the sliders next to the series to get an idea of how far they'll stick out once welded up
After this I bolted on the front wings and sorted out the radiator pipes for the 4.0 rad I've acquired
Jag wheel fits nicely
And now its packed up

Looks like them sliders could be on the not legal side as they stick past the tyres. Might need special wide load permit for it

90% of the time sliders stick out further than the wheels, no rules on that.
Sidesteps on dads disco stick out past the wheels and that passes every year
Rear custom axle will be 2" wider either side anyway and front 2" wider with spacers cos I'm only making up a custom rear

Red will be along to clear things up. But those do look like it could injure a pedestrian, weather you are parked or driving

Wont look so far out once the new axles on don't worry, worst case is I slice off the step and take an inch off each leg to bring it closer to the main body
But as far as I'm aware they should be fine, wheel arches will end up close to them and they're blunt, no sharp edges
