then removed them from the van to be fully welded up on the bench then shotblasted and painted

here's a pic of the workshop the forktruck ive had since i was 18 where i used to work they were chucking it out its 12v works of a car battery and has an inbuilt charger, lifts over half a ton - i got it for free and it's been used on almost every engine swap ive done since
also continued to strip the bits off the cossy, shame its a 4x4 as it has all the front diff and driveshafts crap on
thats whats holding us up atm, other than that it's all undone
