Going to get cracking soon. Need to finish making some gussets for the rear axle, paint it then rebuild it.

Wack that on, then paint the wheels.

Then fit my 8274 :)

Thanks :)

It's getting there, it took me hours to seem weld, it kept wanting warp. Even quenching it with water. It has moved a bit but nothing major.

If this bends il eat my own hat !!

Mike :)
