Workshop has been a hive of activity recently with all sorts going on, a fair bit on my Vitesse as the Club Triumph / MG track day at silverstone is getting closer and havnt touched the car since the RBRR in october.Fitted some 600lb front springs, a 1" front anti roll bar,a rear anti roll bar, made a rear roll cage,fixed an oil leak from front plate on engine that apeared after a crash when engine was in my GT6 (Ally front plate) so not suprised.Gearbox is also getting some attention too as vibration when o/d is engaged.Oh and changed diff for 3.89 as 3.63 was ok for RBRR but no good for track events or hooning round our Warwickshire lanes.
Customers cars have given me a whole variety of work from welding floors / sills , lotus front suspention rebuids to a Lemon (triumph 2000)heater replacement on a very nice white 2000 estate (another RBRR car).You will be driving in your underpants and vest now Chris... nice and toasty..
Cheers for now.

Bloody Triumphs..

A trip out to collect a customers car saw me sat in a traffic jam for ages only to find the problem was this little gem complete with working hazzards and Stanpart brakedown tape..

Work 2007

One of my many new years resolutions was to keep my BLOG updated frequently.Ok so im still drinking too much coffee and eating too much junk food and my blog still lays dormant for ages...i must try harder.
So far this year it seems to be welding welding and more welding , good job i enjoy it.
One of the more interesting projects is the build up of friend Jasons MK1 PI GT6 chassis, modifying it to take a big saloon box comfortably so a tray type recess was made also giving a mount plate and a bit more strength.
Also a couple of spitfire floors and sills to keep me busy , its never as simple as it looks !! floor repairs , sills, heel board repairs ,a post repairs, ..keeps me warm though all this welding.
