been getting a tan while working
 
I've been abit busy over the past few days with the land lords new toy doing a few bits of patch repair. Working out side usualy means me getting covered in dust while MOT type welding over head cramped under the bottom a rotten escort or corsa, or the other type of job is that it's farm equip. and it'll never fit through the doors and weighs 300-12000kg. So it's nice to be able to sit under this job or even stand in it! Although I'm beginning to hate the seight of yellow paint as theres masses of it and very little solid sheet to weld to.

It's the table thats doing my knees and the back of my head in at the moment, the sheet is thin where the scroll and has rubbing. It's all been plug welded on and needs hacking off. I've removed all the sharp points and blades but still keep forgeting that the frame of the wheel is still there when I stand up D'oh!

Phil are you sure you can get that thing through iva ??????????

Talonmotorsport 29th July 2011 10:13 PM

No it does'nt need an IVA as it's an agricutural machine and is exempt from testing. It's cheap to insure to as it's a classic it's X reg and it runs on cherry! Only draw back is it's a right buga to get in the cab with all the shoping and it don't fit in the multi storey.
