    It looks good, but I wild have come up a bit more on the side to protect the oil sump and filter area.

    I have the UNIMIG AC/DC 200 , thinking to do the racks from aluminium to keep the weight down and its still strong but maybe I'm wrong

    Good job, think about some holes to help water and mud escape and as importantly to fascilitate engine noise bounce back.

    Looks great!! I've been thinking about this but would have to buy the welder so I can't justify it.

    Stuff some free-flowing foam in there (like anti-slosh fuel tank foam) between the plate (which looks very good) and the engine, it will let water run through but won't let trash and crap build up as badly, and will help mute the noise. You might consider building a bolt-on "wing" for the right side to help protect the oil pump and oil filter cap.
