    Quite amusing that one of the best welder's I have seen in action needs to go to college to learn.

    If you read this Grant, my mate has just bought a Nova shell that will want a full shell prep (plates etc) so by all means get in touch if you fancy 2 or 3 days 'cash' work.

    We are collecting the shell tonight. J reg with no rot, but rotten doors. May need a rear quarter panel as it has a slight dent in the side. Probably going 1600 8v.
