Work commitments notwithstanding I reckon I could drag the truck back up north again, not sure what will need doing to it atm but it'll probably involve a turbo judging by recent events lol. Only if you'll put up with me of course :lol:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

I have been known to 'dabble' a bit....

MG Midget

MG Midget I picked up some time ago, it needed a wee bit of welding, new sills, holes in floors, front & rear bulkheads, boot etc etc. Gutted the car, cut the rot out and did all the welding. Job was going well. I then got offered a MX5 :roll: sad to say, with a soft top now sat on the drive and increasing work commitments the Midget has sort of gone on the back burner :oops:

I really must finish the thing some time, if for no other reason than needing the space in the workshop and drive!

I'm free that weekend, so I might as well pop up.

I have a couple of little jobs that I would appreciate a little help on, if I have not sorted them by then:

Welding of the top of the rear off-side wheel well
Replace front drive shafts (top BJ's are flipped)
Replace 4x shocks

Cheeky I know, but hey, you have to ask :wink: .
