Nope using my dads but do need to get my own when funds allow. His is just a 130 so isn't quite enough really.

Bricked myself massively today! Put some more bracing in the body to hold it steady, but ran out of welding wire.

Then took the leap of faith and cut the body off the heater channels. This is to channel it / body drop it and will work out around a 3" drop.

All was going fine and I started to cut the b pillar at the bottom and nearly passed out from not breathing! Gave it a tug and bricked myself as the body nearly twisted off! Quickly put it back together and chopped the other side.

I got the body free and then realised there was no way I was lifting the body by myself! Raced off and found 2 willing helpers. Got the body off and up onto the bench. Praying my bracing is strong enough and that it's not going to fall off!

Plan is to tidy up the cuts, drop it back onto the Heater channels to make sure all is well and stick it in!

Super stoked, super nervous, super wobbly! AHHHHHH!!! I'll probably pass out at roof chop stage.
