You'll not be disappointed with Nick's work. The welding on that bracing looks excellent.

Looking good now Harry, keep them pictures rolling in!

I love this stage of a rebuild, putting all the clean shiny bits on, much better than tearing it apart with all the oily greasy muck. I really should pull my finger out and get on with mine....
