  2. Rhubarb went back on the road so im sure this one will aswell:thumbsup:
     
  3. Don't forget that I was going to do this for TBR... it looks a lot worse than it is!!

    That, and this sort of work doesn't phase me in the slightest!! I love getting elbows deep in a good technical resto!!
    I'd even suggested to TBR about doing a custom carbon fibre load deck, as the short section (deck is in 4 pieces) up against the bulkhead, isn't currently available!! :thumbsup:

    Doesn't phase me either - I would absolutely love to just get going on it and not stop until it is finished. I can't and won't. It will just tick along as work, uni etc will get in the way, but I look at rust and broken bits as a challenge or something I can make better.

    load bay will probably be patched with cuts from cargo floors that have been removed off someone elses. If I can get on with the mig welding, can't see why not I have always done the hard bits in the past!

  14. Edmondo HIMSELF the bloke is from Santarcangelo. Edmondo the bus is from further North but I can probably find it on a map. Give me a few minutes.

    Right that makes sense now. The van is from further North. Edmondo. is from Santarcangelo. I thought the whole thing was done in and around Santarcangelo. You're fault., You never spelt it out in large type and small words! Would you kindly remember you are dealing with an half wit?
     
  16. A few 100 yds after the SP56 crosses the A26 in a south easterly direction, 1st on the right there's a track leading to some farm buildings, that's where he lived.
