Love the colour and your attention to detail. It makes it all worthwhile for me to see a motor being freshened up and looked after like its new.

Can't believe I have only just noticed this thread!

It's going to look superb when you've finished, the rocker cover is class!

Who does you aluminium welding?

i used these mate,to be honest i used these because i was working on a site over the road,but i would like to find somone closer and somone who does what i asked them to do,if you look at the rocker cover at the start of my thread when its still red they welded my jic fitting on the top when i asked them to weld it on the underside so the weld could not be seen.
