Dean
The frame is mounted in the jig ,all the bad areas have been cut out now and cleaned up ready for the next stage,which is to cut out a section from a donar frame and then weld it in place.
I will post more pics as the repairs progress.

Ok, here are pics of the finished frame
I put a strengthening piece in like the spanish jet frame has.
Frame end bracket for side panels was broken so i managed to save it and weld back into place.
Well that was a lot of work so I'm off for a well earned beer now :fb: !!!!!!!!!!
