having decided to use this for work, hopefully it'll be getting busier soon, cos am fed up of sitting at home in me inventors shed
'snot really big enough to get lengths of copper in, so i had an old metal framed bed lying about, so set about it with the grinder and welder
and knocked that up, can't really afford a new one as i'm skint, and as we all know, we like free so it cost nowt
so added some paint and few spotties, that were lying around and voila instant roof rack/crate type thingy
added a sticker i got made up as well

well, B.A. Hanibal, and Face came around again today so we got to work on the steps, fed up of them falling on me everytime i went into me inventing shed, so got the
gear out and started a chopping and welding
stripped the aluminium (aloominum if you're a yank) off said steps and cut it down to size welded it back up and welded it to the chasis
tested the ally see if it fit ok
then red oxided the frames
then fitted it all back into place
just got tother side to do now, but need to buy a new grinder as Face burned the other one out.
steps were off a LWB. |
