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  ) 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.......
Lookin forward to seeing her.
