My welder was playing up a bit, I had trouble getting a consistent wire feed, I'll try cleaning the liner but may need a new one. Consequently the welds are not quite as even as I would have liked, but the "riveted" effect is exactly what I wanted. I reckon by the time they are painted they'll look OK

Well, to be honest, it often goes this way for me too.

I come indoors, get out of my garage clothes, then just as I am about to go shower, something springs to mind or a solution presents itself (it's happened while speaking to Nicola in the kitchen) and I go back and start again or finish a job.

I so wanted to finish the front line as well yesterday, but darkness is no friend as the trucks front end is under the open door.

Your progress is steady but very sure.

Not sure if I missed it, but why are you doing all this work? 710bhp ?
