and the second was a tr3 in for welding on the body tub.

i wouldnt mind one.... they cost a fortune nowdays tho

My brother in the process of restoring an Austin similar to the one above,it was supposed to be a quick tidy up but ended up being a full restoration.He's been at it for a few years now and it's nearly ready......until he decides he's not happy with it and starts all over again!.

made this for a car tuning company last month,its an air chamber for a supercarger .they wanted it made out of alloy,handed me six cut pieces of alloy and said they wanted to show off all the welds,so i welded it together and as it was so small it looked stupid with all the weld showing so i ground and smoothed all the weld then polished it.thought i was doing the guy a favor and even gave him it at trade only charged him £60 and hes still not payed,so if any more work comes in from that garage you can guess what they can do with it.

Some people eh

It looks bloody good too for £60....for nothing,doesn't even bare thinking about what some would charge for it??

Cheers Scuderia

not everyday we get one of these to weld.

Lovely big ship... not something i'll ever own thats for sure......rusty arches my any chance
