So I finally get around to introducing myself... sorry guys, but the last year or two has been hell with a capital E.
When I can fit it in I'm repairing a 1973 series 3(?) 2 1/4 SWB diesel with a safari roof, Fairey overdrive and rotten footwells and door pillars. I've almost finished welding repairs on the chassis including new ends to the rear cross member and other odds and ends.
I used to have a series 2a SWB diesel when I was boatbuilding - a good tool provided you don't try to tow anything too heavy. It had a wire drum winch driven off the front of the engine - very handy on a beach or logging (used to get my own timber sometimes).
As a boatbuilder I used to do a bit of stick welding when required so getting to use MIG was no big deal. Not always decorative at first, perhaps, but metal is firmly stuck to metal and I'm improving. Even overhead is starting to look pretty reasonable...
I know, I should have taken photos... if I can tear our demon six year old budding photographer away from the camera for long enough I'll try to fire some off.
I've got a talktalk identity, a yahoo identity and one or two others if I can remember what they are, maybe I should develop a complete schizoid personality and get a google identity so I can be on this map thing...
