Well the table is built, the steel box section for the chassis aquired, inabilty to weld with my gasless MIG discovered!

So now I have ordered a 200amp TIG welder which will be here by Tuesday. It will take me longer to learn how to use it properly but in the end I'll be able to weld a better range of thicknesses. This will save me a packet (more than the cost of the welder) when it comes to fabricating the exhaust manifold!
