Default Xmas in April!

Right started to get my work area sorted and decided i would spend a bit of cash on some equipment! So the UPS dude arived yesterday with a few large box's..... after covering the place with packing Wotsits this is what i was left with! The new Tig and plasma cutter! ohh and a sweet helmet!! Big thanks to R-Tech great support and a few free bits thrown in as well took around 17 hours to arive after i put the order in.
Also did a load of work making benches and clearing out crap from the garage soon to be workshop! Oh also have a clarke lathe and milling machine on order! so all that space will soon be gone. There is also now another bench 8ft x3ft where the welders are.

So just need to order the chassis metal and can start work soon!
Pics below!




oh the stack of old crappy engine bits in the background are 4age engine, 2x 7 rib 4age blocks, carb converted 4age head and a mk3 supra w58 5spd box from an old project.

Jesus F!ck, how much money do you have?! You could have bought a chassis for half the money you spent on brand new equipment to make one!

Eternal,

Fantastically jealous of your build area, space is at a right premium in my gaff at the moment.

Looking forward to some build updates.

Cheers Ginge

Well done, we're all just jealous......

Got my xmas coming monday, ordered yesterday a top spec Lorch Pro Mig from Weldequip for the workshop. Credit card took some more bashing but should all be worth it.....
