Absolutely superb Steve, love the cage and attention to detail.

We did meet very briefly ar MIRA, hoping to do it again this year (and do more than 2 miles :oops: ) so hopefully see you there.

In the near future I intend to buy a TIG and do another shell,yours sort of puts mine to shame really....... :oops:

Lookin forward to seeing her.
