Just to verify that I do get my hands dirty and it is a real workshop. I have to admit that my benches are not as clean as I keep my floor
 . Also those clamps I use are the best I have ever bought. They're not cheap but I have used a ring spanner to tighten jobs and never put them out of shape.Colin.

As always Colin your work is inspiring. I also need to replace the gusset on the rear at each end of the storage boxes.
What is the trick with welding AP3 to mild steel plate? Is mig the go? Do you pre-heat the AP? Dont be afraid to post more pics of the welding on the front armour.

Hi Euan, mig welding is fine but don,t run your welder cold or you won't get enough penetration. Mig is low hydrogen so if your AP3 is prepared properly as in well ground and if it's been oxy cut get rid of all slagg.I have never had a problem welding AP3 to mild.
I post more pictures of the front welding. All those little things take time but I find it better to do them as I'm going. It gets a bit frustrating having to swap to different machines for componentry but the end result is worth it. School holidays are a bit of a work slowdown. Colin.
