This one's £450


NSDev, if you could put more effort in then id hate to see something you'd put your mind to. I probably die of envy lol.

Also - finally a supplier who is candid about prices... it does my head in when people shirt around how much they paid/charged for stuff.

I keep eyeing up your mini van on ebay if I'm honest. If it wasnt such a horrific colour then id be serious tempted


Cheers!

PS Think the best summary of the colour that I've heard was "cowshit green"!!!

We love it though, its as retro as an avocado bathroom suite on wheels

On ebay auction from this eve, fed up with messers!!





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

When you weld stainless it, amusingly, stains!

You use a commercially available paste made of hydrofluoric acid to remove the staining and oxides.

However, if you look up hydrofluoric acid on wikipedia etc you'll see why I avoid it when I can!

That said I have done a stainless engine cover for the v8 van we're building where I have to pickle the inside welds as I can't get in to polish them properly
