ffs i like the heath and safety! a shell suit from the early 90's........ more flammable than wearing a suit of petrol, no gloves... bare arms..... and old washing machine!!!!!! a sheet of steel costs mere pounds

I attended a couple of terms of evening classes to learn welding - including the appropriate H&S - taught by a bloke who owned a welding company. Definitely the way to do it. I'm still crap at mig welding sheet, though.

chill guys I'm not that daft It's not a shell suit, tis made from cotton and just singes a bit and you can't see the welding gauntlett she's wearing from that angle.

the rose tinted specs are telling me to buy it, had one years ago, always a fun car to drive, then i recall the headgaskets every 10,000, the crankshafts every 40,000, the front struts loosing their damping, the front tyres wearing through to the wire on the inside edge, because of the excessive neg. camber, the list goes on, i still have the dash and the badges!
meanwhile the one that prompted my first post really needs a new shell, anyone?
