I can weld and bash most steels, ive got a 10mm spanner and know how to put a sterio in,,, seeing as i spend most of me time coverd in sh*t, would be only natural to spend a weekend scrapping it of for a good cause and putting something more worth while inits place!
If theres any specific engineering/machining/welding/fab that you know could be done before hand get in touch and ill see if i can help, please do ask!
got a first aid ticket and depending on the date happy to be involved all weekend ( dump drops excluded, im alittle shy on that front 8) ) MAKE A MEAN BREW 2 but theres plenty of slackers up for that job obviously :lol: and im happy to play taxi if theirs a list of boys who want to share the diesel.
Happy to be involved in anyway fit... just let me know

o and d-dub designs may be able to help with airbrushing/stripping but it comes down to the dates!

hope you can use me! Gadge...

SOMETHING WICKED IS HAPPENING BUT DONT FORGET! as this thing seems to be draggin a touch?!?! but if you or the boys come up with anything that needs attention before hand. (radiators/intercoolers/oilcoolers/shiny pots for oil/water/air.etc) you know how to getta hold of me, it would be a cracking thing to achieve and im sure it feels like a bollox ache getting the i'sdotted and the t x't, but i'm sure that something fantastic is on the horizon! :wink:

KEEP THAT FAITH

all the best Gadge

Add my name to the list, I can turn my hand to most things, not all that cleaver at filling though
looks like i might be best off helping with the parts cleaning, helping out where needed
also i dont mind collecting parts before hand

Would love to volenteer for this project as it's for a good cause! :)

Only one little minor hurdle.....the Irish Sea :lol: :lol: but willing to travel (cost dependant), even just to brink some of the black stuff :D:D and meet everyone :):D:)

Skills are mostly in the mechanical department and have tinkered with wiring but hasn't everyone!!!!

Anyway, let me know what you think.
Oh how I long for the day when the rust is all gone!!!!! :-)
