GavinDavis:
Bloomin hell its certainly been used to its full potential  :daumenhoch:

oldtired:
yup, kid who had it was a bit of a street rat i think so its seen some concrete ledges in it time  ;D    still keeps me out of mischief and i think its worth doing if only cos i've not done owt like this before  :daumenhoch:

ED209:
nice to see old people still using their hands and being useful.

MartyC:
Looking good, I like the coloured welds, makes it stand out a bit  :coolsmiley:

oldtired:
cheers Marty me too  :daumenhoch: however there is a little update............... ;D



as can be seen the first dint resto went quite well the next ones further up the chain stay not so well  :'(    got quite a nice flow going on the weld and then the not very nice zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz    sound   like fookin Thermite  going off........   :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:   blown an hole in the fooker   :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:   , ffs   :'( :'( :'(,    managed to plug it with a 10mm bolt so you can tell how bad things were,  the plug held without any more holes so that was it back to plan A

old arc welder and thin cromo tubing ......  NO!  would be my advice to anyone else ,    out with the chemical metal and hammerite  :daumenhoch: 

different direction on the paint too , unsure if it will work , might look shite but can always take it off again ..... ;D

sneaky peak ................    :-\ done by hand AA stylee   :LolLolLolLol:
