The Grille is started!
Thank you all for your replies and for your help in sourcing the ally mesh. Our local motor factors had a piece 30 x 90cm in stock so, deep joy.
Unfortunately, it was clear anodised and that has given me some grief but I have managed to weld one piece in, not that pretty but it won't fall
out. This is for the air to exit the bonnet from the radiator. I hope the second piece goes as well.
I'll post the finished item(providing I manage not to blow a hole through it!) when
complete..jpg)

that's the best close-up I could get (well, that's my story anyway tee hee!)
Yes I'm using TIG and had to try to sand off the anodising from the grille material before welding.
