Nothing like the satisfaction of building something yourself, well I enjoy it anyway speaking of which may have one by the weekend if the weather holds off 
no prob thats for that! makes the vice on my old mans one look like nothing! Ill link him this n make him jealousSorry it took so long but heres a pic of the vice you were after
took longer than i was expecting as my welder decided to give up on me but got it going again and shuld get much more done now. When it stop raining 
Finally got a little more fabrication work done on the chassis
Anyways I've now decided to scrap the entire disco body (rather than trying to make the floorpan and bulkhead fit) and am now going to building my own bulkhead etc. So today started building the new outriggers.
On to the pictures.
At least i just about managed to get both sides welded up fully before as usual it decided to **** it down with rain!
Now just need to finish off with a 6mm plate on top then buy some 50x50x3mm box to build the bulkhead
Well I'm following what it says on the arlc website to build all my mounts so it should be strong enough. 
excellent thread,keep up the quality and the pics.
Cheers lads
It don't look like much at the minute but hopefully once the bulkhead and cage start getting fabricated it should start getting more interesting
I still think i should of turnt the heat down a little on the latter welds though. But never mind they don't look too bad.
Yea the first lot of welding i wasn't 100% happy with but since the welders been fixed its performing much better
It got a new euro torch, liner, and wire feed (as the wire feed packed up) and a new 15kg wire reel. Got my mate who's a welder by trade to set wire feed up as it was his machine originally. So knows what he's doing (i hope).
The blue you see is called heat affected zone and is a indicator of a good quality weld
There is no heat burn
All the butt welds were chamfered. Especially considering it going to be holding the cage on. I want it to be as strong as possible so thought there was no point skimping on the prep work
Thanks
Hopefully build a lean to on the the side of the garage in the next month or so and get some lighting put up in there too, anything to keep it going although it might slow down a little over the next few months as I've got a series 3 turning up today that needs some fettling
ok,tis a shame you are so far away from me,i have got one of those blue and white striped party rooms that you could have borrowed.tis a big one as well.
