i know its not expensive, but they charge 250 for flat pack and 690 for complete, does it really cost bout 440 to weld (i know they have to add profit) just seems alot for the welding.
ive considered buying flatpack and then seeing if i can get someone to weld for me but dont know :/

We have a full time welder working here and i am still buying my chassis complete. By the time we have built a table ,set up the jig argued for hours as to what goes where, listened to his negative attitude for a couple of days to the point of strangling him. believe me its good value for money. I do understand those that want to do the whole thing as its a great challenge but for those who have very little time buying is best. Also the hours saved would have it on its wheels with all its bolt ons done and dusted.
