How do you find the new welder?I keep looking at buying a 160tm for myself but cant decide to go for that or put a bit more money towards something else.

Cheers Ross.

It's fantastic. like night and day compared to the knackered 120e. Not tried it on thick stuff, but it's really good on the low settings for thin stuff like bodywork

Shropshire.

fair play for tackling something of this magnitude - every time i look at this thread there's another new panel or another one missing.

keep the updates coming, its a good guide on where to cut what etc

Also i have the same welder and im really liking it.

Thanks. It only wanted a patch in the boot and an engine chucking in it when I bought it. It's going to end up 50% new metal at this rate lol

I wouldn't use some of my bodgy repairs as a guide. I'm ending up doing some things two or three times before I'm happy with it.

Budget and time won't allow for 2011 completion unfortunately. I'm having to earn every penny that gets spent on it and the spec I have in my head realistically needs a lottery win...

Yours is nearly there, should easy make Avon 2011

Thanks to Carl for his generosity and Alex & Nicky for organising the raffle. I'm chuffed to bits.

Nice ones...
Just some questions if permited...
what size they are 7" or larger? and what is the outer spec how deep?
Your archers seem the normal group 2, the group 2 wide should cover it...

Regards,
Diogo Lima

They are 6" wide. 3" front and 3" rear. I think the arches are normal group 2s. They stick out about 1 3/4" from the panel so I reckon some 2 1/2" group 2 wides will cover them nicely and keep the look I'm after.

Looking good andy, i didnt realise you'd done so much.

Wheels are nice to lift the sprit to keep welding.

Nice work Andy.

Defo light at the end of your tunnel matey.

And it's nice knowing those wheels are going onto something as worthy as such a great build.

Rich.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Sticking to my theme of getting the body finished, I've been looking at the lights.

Had some fancy dan LED bulb replacements made and a complete new pair of clubby front side light/indicator units made.










They illuminate more quickly and use less power than standard bulbs.

For those of you who, like me, are weight obsessed. The front side light/indicator units are 110g lighter per unit *smiley*
