New toys!

Telwin 180 Mig Welder including all the stuff! gas bottle, welding mask, gloves.
Fabricating a cart so I can keep it together and move it about in my workshop.

Also got a seat for the passenger side. I can start making the seat frame mounts now. Its a Cheaper but still a good FIA approved seat. The Sarco Sprint.

Invest in a proper set. don't go cheap ass china! It will last a lifetime if you buy proper stuff!
I'm not very good at welding yet. but aslong its not safety related i will try. Cage is done by a pro.

Need to clean up my garage when all the bits are on the car, the mess driving me cazy.

Will have to cranck my engine .. it hasn't run ever but was build 4 years ago.. every year I turn it over by hand a few times.. any tips for that?
