I keep meaning to get power on in my shed but its a 100 foot down the garden and the cable will cost me a fortune

[robbie.cee]

You need armoured cable really m8 for the run down the garden.look on ebay for second hand 30/32 amp twin +earth/3core) might have a touch as its £6 or more per meter new. worth it tho m8 think what you could run then!

Al, i got these wicked heaters in my conservatory, intended for use in washrooms,avaries, public areas etc, come in different lengths, smallest is foot long uses like 125 watts. the 6 foot one uses 350 watts. they are tube heaters, really effective if used in multiples!
can get from places like Qvs and screwfix!

The only thing that wont go in, Transit wise, is a high top... Last time I went over there, he was working on a MG shell and occasionally a SVO Transit MK3 beavertail, not at the same time thou

Bring on the transits just not a high top

How much would you charge to spray my van for me once I have welded all new metal in and filled the joins mate? as the paint has faded in places it might be worth just getting it speayed, and I will also prime the bumpers and mirrors so you can paint them too, less masking up!!!!???

[AlanN]

Sorry guys, Im way behind, Ive got a few jobs I want to do, but I just dont have the time at the moment. Im definately taking my Mondeo dash out, brought a Granny MK2 cluster, but Ive got a bumper for Gurj to do and he's been waiting months. Sorry Gurj. Back of the van is coming out, hoping to get it refitted before Transitmania, an auto box has been calling me for a year, gonna have to convice AndyG to come over for diner and then lock him in the shed The list is endless, ooh, and another paint job, but Im not sure if that will be this year, I owe Nick to many favours
Reset my tappets yesterday, as the ticking was driving me mad, but thats about it, service maybe, oh and I must get the wheels painted.

Not done anything with the Granny MK2 clocks, as I still can't find a plug for the back of the clocks, tried a few ebay sellers, forums and breakers, so this may have to go on the long term back burner. Shame, as I wanted to get these in for the show season and sell on my Mondeo clocks and surround.
While rummaging through the shed today, I came across some off cuts of chrome stick-on strip, that a customer gave me a few years back, all seemed to be in good condition still so I thought I would have a measure up, to see if there was enough to do the recesses on the lower part of the body work. I was about 4mm short on the offside next to the door, so I just added a bit on oh well it was free



There was still enough to do the rear bits too, but I'm not sure if I should cut it to the body seem as it looks too long at the back...

[Muttley]
