Been busy for last few days knocking up a dog create for the ute. Just to make it a bit easier when travelling and staying places that aint so dog frendly. So far just got the main frame together with mesh. Waiting on door latches and hinges before making the doors. My welding aint the best but it holds.

Going to have a full canvas cover with zip up sides and rear.

Wow that's excellent.

You can hardly see the welds for the frame.

Prob because you're using light gauge tube, I was blowing holes in some the other month.

Had my 1st wizz on the Ally today using the MIG to easy with the 5mm plate

First wizz on the plate??? With the MIG (is that short for MIDGET?) I thought that the uric acid in the wizz would oxidise the alloy?
