    wasnt overly happy with my welding on the fuel tank area, turns out i'd ran out of gas, quick trip to my buddys pub and that was remedied! then my grinder caught fire so a new one was purchased from screwfix, hopefully back on it on friday!

    When I was a mod we all placed a bet on when it would be finished. I can let you all know that none of the mods have lost the bet yet. Keep resting Dog. Keep resting and taking it easy. I want to claim my prize.
