It looks quite "normal" in the pic Scottie's put up, but it looks huge on the earlier pic. It might just be the big open hole in the end.
Nice work though. :thumbup:

I know what you mean though, in the first picture it looks like we've just welded on an RSJ that I had lying around in the garden or something.

Hopefully I'll hopefully have pictures of it looking better soon though.

Unfortunately I've not managed to get any further welding done this week, but I'm hoping to do a little more this evening.

On the plus side I picked up a 16v Vitara as an engine donor last night :guns:
