should i keep updating this? just seems that not to many are taking an interest so would i be better to horde pics and do a mass update, or leave it alone.

Keep going. I find it interesting, and its also good to see how someone else works if you see what I mean. Just out of interest, what amp is your welder, I use a 130 amp one but just killed it so might go bigger.

thats what im using and sometimes it doesnt seem man enough to weld the metal together . . . might have to get a bigger 1 . . but keep the 130 amp for body welding
boss:
its a 150 amp sealy quite happily welds 6mm plate if you get usedto the welder but only for 6mins :lol:
its more than enough for general modifying im just going a bit ott with welds, bit [!Expletive Deleted!] off with the way the ones on the tray look but i know they penitrated.
it might be up for sale soon if either of you are interested only going to fund my big one...or a TIG :roll:
the 7.5mx6mmx25mm piece of steel cost me £10.80 :D
bought that, 2 lengths(7.5m) of 50x50x3mm box, 4 lengths of 25x25x3mm and a sheet of 2mx1mx1.5mm alli sheet for £130 deliverd! (with the 6mm flat bar)

i know what you mean about watching other people work. i have learnt so much from jsut looking and keeping my mouth shut (very old skool college lecturer :lol:). i dont have a problem with posting its jsut that the ammount of time i spend taking photos, uploading them to photobucket and then doing a little write up on here is taking build time away. not many were still posting so thought evereyone had lost interest.....not going to waist build time if no one wants to know about it.
Disco Matt:
I've just been doing the same thing - reading and keeping quiet unless I've got something to say that might be useful! :lol:
Seriously, keep going. While I have no intention of hacking most of my bodywork off and fitting Unimog axles this is still interesting stuff, and a lot of the fabrication ideas can be applied to far less extreme vehicles.
