Cheers dude still got a fair bit to do yet. But hopefully should have the front end finished by the end of the week. Really want to get her rolling under her own steam asap specially for the v8 burble

As for the welding it's easy mate! Just buy a cheapish one, get a load of scrap and practice practice practice! Was how i learnt plus its good fun making stuff!

Bit more done this morning

Made up another panel for the battery trays.

Should give it a bit more support.

Then started cleaning up the bulkhead only done the o/s so far but heres a pic

Then doused the whole area with rust convertor ready for painting.

And last but not least started to fab up my homemade wing tops.

that looks some pretty hefty welding!
are they replacement panels or have you fab'd your own?

Thanks the front end should now stand the test of time and a battering off road.

Headlight boxes and the support strut are from yrm the rest i fab'd myself which took a while but i had loads of offcuts lying around so thought i may aswell use it
