If you had to pay me to do this...

It took five 10 hour days, 7 cutting discs, one scrap try. A re -stock of sheet steel and finally the bottom is back in. Now have to mount it, put in petrol taps plus other bits...
MK2 inside

Possibly not a good choice as first TIG project but hay...

Only bubbles from temp cap, mat still coat inside for safety!

Good Day Bad Day

Had to say good buy to one of my cats today....!
