So after a FURSTRATING 3 weeks trying to work mostly alone and with the wrong material I could not take it anymore.
I was cutting and re-welding so much that the first frame looked like it came out of WW2.
BUT !!!! I got to grips with the dimensions, the mounting points etc, so all in all a learning curve towards the end goal.
Decide to take a day's leave on Tuesday.
Scrapped the first frame. Chuck it in the back of the Condor with some other bits of steel lying around and dumped it at the scrap dealears.
This was a first for me and when I got R 80.00 for the scrap, I was happy.
Off to the steel place and bought 38 x 38 x 3 SQ tubing
