Not many updates on the car itself, just mainly my skill progression!

Spent a good 3 Hours with the welder today...

Image

Managed to get some good penetration going on there! most of the welds are single spot welds at 2 second blasts (and repeated in a line), i managed to start to start a pool weld and drag it aswell!

Im not confident to start cutting the EF2 apart!

Also this arrived.
