Interesting you left the boot lock in - I would have taken the opportunity to blank it and use a cable release from a Bluebird or something with a similar size lock.

Good effort so far, I'm not a metal fab kind of person, lack the skills and patience to learn. So I envy you ha.

Ooo, whats beneath the gift wrap?!

Post subject:  Re: 510 On A Budget

Didn’t think about blanking it off completely probably a good idea Imago but I might still add a cable release later. Trust me I’m no metal fab guy either, and my patience is pretty much zero but if I don’t do it it'll just sit there for the next 10 years rusting away. If I can bang couple panels together anyone can! Buying a good welder will make any amateur look like pro. Haven’t received it yet I’ll let you know when it arrives!
