Show us your barwork...

[mullet_hunter]

Hi all.. Just wandering who out there has built there own barwork.. I'm thinking of knocking me up a set of sliders for my new bus.. Only thing is I've moved into our new pad and I can't use my jd2 bender, compressor or welder cause there all 15amp.. I have to call a sparky up to put in a new 15amp outlet at the new joint.. I knw excuses excuses... Anyone in Perth or even the Nissan patrol club over these ways have a shed with a 15amp outlet and space send me a p.m... I think it could be beneficial for a me/other members to do a meet and greet/workshop and knock out some barwork.. Potentially saving a lot of dollars compared to buying off the shelf items.. Could also learn a lot along the way and would also be a good networking opportunity... Anyways don't won't to carry on.., here's a pics of a rear bar I did for my 80...

Great idea mate and I hope some people take you up on the offer!!

I think it's a great opportunity to have a crack at building your own barwork... I'm a chippy by trade but metal is so forgiving.. If u stuff it up u can just grind it back and Reweld..not barwork but a ratted out frame/drift trike I built...

there are a lot of people not happy with Hayfab at the moment........... according to Faceache

never seen any of Ontrack's work, so cannot comment

like 93patrol said - Mike from XLR8 does excellent work, and for what your getting, it is cheap insurance

[Clunk]

Yeah Hayfab has been keeping a very low profile on faceache for a while. Again haven't seen the other guys works but can vouch for XLR8 fabrications.
