the welders great i went for gas in the end so far its took me 4 weekends and out of that only really about 20ish hours
quite a few of them were head scratching moments aswell
the front frame the worst lol
the best advice i can give you is dont give up it will come good in the end and now im loving it

Andy.

Thats good work for 20 hours.

I do hear the front frame can be a pain

As for giving up, no chance, I already have loads of bits finished, ready to bolt on

i really dont want this to be taken the wrong way but the wishbones are going to need grinding out and re-welding. from what i can see you havent got enough heat into them.

if you look at the front lower wishbones note that the ends are blue from the heat. you should be aiming for that all the way down the tube and on the plate.

what welder are you using?

sorry to put a bit of a downer on what otherwise looks like great progress.

i hope my comments are taken in a constructive way as i only want to help
