October 2003
Back in October I finished marking and drilling the angles for bolting the frames together so I attempted to bolt the frame together.

The results of which were not very successful. Somewhere I'd mucked it all up and when it was all bolted together the frames rocked. Time for plan B.

The whole mess sat languishing whilst I concentrated on some of the other projects I had going, however it was time to do something about it.

I aquired some 20mm black bar to use as temporary frame spacers. These bars were turned down to length to fit between the frames and drilled and tapped.

I bolted them inplace and success. Nice stable square frames. I can now attach the front and rear buffer beams. The angle pieces have also been cut ready to be attached.
