I've started a build diary

2 quick things...

that TIG looks like the same one I had, got it off ebay, cheap chinese import. Welded most of the chassis and promptly broke down. Watch out for the gas solenoid valve, mine used to randomly switch off while welding, ruining the weld at best, blowing a hole in the steel at worst.

and the other thing - do you always work in a leather jacket?

Best of luck with it!
