Les Henson Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 My nice new chassis is finally ready to be picked up. Picked up my new welder today - they couldn't get the 160 in 240v, so offered me a 170 with free trolley and 5kg spool of .8 wire and twin guage regulator. Is that sexy or what? Almost got everything I need now, except for gas and face mask. 19.5m EN10255 tubing for the cage, plus odd bits of steel for saddles etc. 10-ton Sealey pipe bender Brand new chassis. New reinforced rear crossmember. A considerable amount of determination. Oh - and a pigeon fancying neighbour who'll complain Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Nice plant Les - shiiiiiiiiiny pop down to the local firearms licencing office and pick up a certificate form and say goodbye to the neighbours pigeons or mix bicarb of soda in with breadcrumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Excellent Les - all my favourite ingredients! Whats on the cards then - a straight chassis swap and cage, or a few more adventurous mods too? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have the entire PAS system off a 110V8, so will be fitting that too. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Looks very smart, how much £ if you don't mind me asking ? I've been catalogue shopping for a welder this morning in work and feel a serious wallet bashing coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 19.5 m of tube doesn't go far! I have used 5 x 6m lenghts so far (not all used yet but destined to be incorporated). Does include rock sliders and the tray back loop though so perhaps you will be ok. Have fun. And give us regular updates of progress. Good luck mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 I paid £406. 55 peas. I don't doubt that I'll have to buy more tubing. I need to practice with the MIG and the bender. At least it'll keep the local pikeys busy taking away my scrap. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
