Skinning a cat..



Amongst all the Triumph stuff this week i had to re-skin some E-Type Jag doors and was surprised to find how bodged they had been before with plates of steel and filler,even the frames needed repair,Jag stuff was so over engineered and heavy no wonder it needed a V12 Motor to pull it along. still all done and ready for paint...
Talking of bodge-welding a friend recently asked if i could bodge a quick patch on his mother-in-laws metro sill for the mot, no problem i said it wont take a minute to weld a patch on..bring it up, so he did.........a quick patch ???

Nice motor..


Big Baz from the good old days of John Kippings came to visit KDT today for a brew and some toast.
His car is the green AC Greyhound.. i recon it looks like a Pearless or a Warwick GT.
I like those .Perhaps when im older and a bit more sensible ill get one.
