As a reward to the car for it’s 10 years of dedicated service I decided to treat it to a really nice couple of days in Somerset and introduce it to steves angle grinder :aaah: :lol:
The purpose of the trip was to get my new battery tray welded in by steve and sheman. Bit of extra work was needed as the rust spread onto the inner arch so steve had to do some overtime! To midnight to be exact :oooh:
Everythings back together now and it looks like a factory finish like it was when i bought it! :D :Q

Considering it was 170 mile trip there ( 20 extra miles as I got lost pimsle) the drive there was great. The workmanship is faultless, Steve’s fabrication is top notch, the customer service was second to none and I am very happy with the finished result. :D

dont worry dave, not giving up, the funs only just begun! :D
mark, judging from what happened to mikee all the time, im kinda glad i didnt fit that one
i need a good box again, (not a bernie box!)
i paid £150 llama what a fluke it lasted so long, im just going to get this stripped down and replace the broken part/s if its not too bad
i have a spare box i bought from nomad 2 years ago, might be able to use parts from it, fingers crossed i havent totally f**cked it
