Well, didn't manage to get the bits for the welding pigs  :'( I literally don't have 2 pennies to rub together.

Sooooooooo raided the bolts draw  ;D

If you welded the bolts the other way up, it would be easier to mount as a bonnet mascot.

Seriously though, I like it.

That will be on Flog it in 100 years time. Person will say my great grandfather made it. We don't like it and keep it in a cupboard because it is a family heirloom. How much is it worth?  ;D ;D ;D

Years ago I welded up a man chopping wood with an axe. My Mum and Dad "treasure it".  ;D
