Three threads from the same person here, his repair work is awesome, the man with the invisible repairing skills!

For instance, that gaps not good..

Weld in some 16swg

Name:  fa2fb60a.jpg
Views: 257
Size:  119.0 KB

Ends up looking like this..

Name:  f2d6f3b4.jpg
Views: 243

Right so the three threads..

It doesn't have many comments because most people who read this thread get carried away with the links shared.

Great thread and another night stuck to the laptop reading these threads!

There's a lack of comments because everyone's busy looking at the links! There is some very inspirational build threads here don't stop adding more when you find them!
