3 wheel barrows of mud on the floor, roll bar, tent frames, dash, boot, seats, etc....

Today I have mostly been welding in my heated workshop..........................
2 probs...................... in the last 2 months I have exhausted my bushelter sized wood store (got 2 logs left

)

and I've been welding and massaging 1mm thick ish steel................ gonna have to change out to .6 wire tomorrow to get some control

Replacing the disgustingly embarrasing Demon Tweaks hood bulge/vent that is neccessary on the YJ cos of lifted engine and large Kand N filter.

Making a much more manly one fron steel.................... pics when I am done
