    Good day to get back on the road

    Just got a new MOT after about 6 weeks without being able to use the old girl,couldn't have got it on a better day,of course I got lost on the way home from the test centre.
    Apparently I also have one of the rare triumph engines just like the one in the stag for sale this week on ebay.

    Cheers Steve

        impressed steve, that looks really good, is that underseal? i'm taking mine off the road this winter to concentrate on bodywork, just need to refresh my welding fabricating skills, not done any at all since collage, so plenty of practise first on scrap sheet steel

            I like the spring seat extensions, lowered springs are very close to popping out when the suspension is on full droop

                Looks tidy welding Steve and you couldn't have timed it better to miss the drab weather and back on the road when the sun come out.

                  Thanks guys ,Alan the black stuff is dinitrol ,it goes on with air gun first a brown wax and then the top coat in black but still stays waxy ,there is also a very thin option for inside the box sections with applicator .my car dripping with it .i think the spring seat must have been knackered before I started to use the stuff .

                    I have just invested in a "proper" argon/CO2/O2 gas bottle as I have a funny feeling I may have to wander around the NS seat outrigger with the 'fizzy stick - the underseal was looking a bit iffy last year at MOT but the tester made no comment so I didn't draw any attention to it.

                    Maybe I'll wait until the MOT, and see if he says anything this year...... I hate laying under cars welding...

                        Russ I got a large co2 bottle from a pub and realised the small bottles from halfords never really supplied enough gas .welding instantly improved when I swapped over to the large bottle,plus I can weld for ever on a £20 refil.

                            I started with this Kit and now just buy what I need as and when.


                            No cheap, but then nor are panel repairs.
