Thanks Guys I appreciate your comments

I've spent a few more hours measuring, cutting and deburing so here's the latest pics. Sorry they're not a little more interesting.

Don't forget to allow for the distortion caused by welding the bend / notch on the front frame uprights.
I found through trial and error they pulled in by about 1.5deg when i welded mine. I welded some samples in different orders e.g inside first then sides, or sides first then end, to try and prevent it but in the end just opened them up a bit before welding.

Regards

Andy
