The exhaust also has suffered. The collars and joint pieces had bad corrosion and needed alot of welding /fab work. First time using a TIG welder.

Some very nice work there chap!

mate, that is some seriously impressive work going on and in pretty quick time too - good work with all the detailed shots keep'em coming

Cheers for the comments, i`m a director of a small tool hire company and as a sideline business i was wondering if there is a opportunity maybe for offering some kind of service restoration work as i really enjoy this kind of thing . I have access to lots of different kind of tools (blasting , tig/mig/arc/gas welding equipment) so can tackle pretty much anything bar powdercoating, although i know of and have used a good company recently. This is not an advert, like i said, i enjoy this kind of work and while the hire business is perhaps not as busy as it should be, i was thinking about diversification. What do you think? One of my other projects, check it out!! http://c90club.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=128" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

coming along nicely, some nice attention to detail there. oh and best colours too

just as a matter of interest, where abouts in n wales are you ? and whats the hire co name ? could be a small old world this

I live in the same place as the italian village Portmeirion, a place called Minffordd nr Porthmadog. The shop is called Penrhyn Hire Ltd, its a family business which i`m taking over next april, well being made managing director. The builing itself has plenty of room for lots of toys if you know what i mean!
Brake rebuild started off with the rear caliper and yes the pistons where well seized. I had to butcher the pistons just to get them out the body. Enjoy!
