DIY front strut brace
was working on saturday morning and thot to my self that i needed a new brace on the front as... well being a welder that shud be easy for me lol
i went out the the car and took a few sizes (hole pcds and the hole for the top mount) i made the brace kinda like my mates carbing brace apart from the front bar is round not oval. so i made up all the parts and cut a pipe (i left everything a little bit bit as i could trim it later) i have a stick welder in my garage so i would bolt averything down then tack weld it in place then weld it off of the car. before starting i disconectd the battery
and used flame retardent boiler suits so protect the engine 
this is the part that will mount to each side top mount
no holes yet
and this is the bar
this is the brace set out on the ground not welded yet
i have skipped a few steps as i got a wee bit excited lol this it if painted at fitted
