i think we'll need a few compressers and welders, i've got my welder i can bring but to be honest its not the most reliable thing i seem to spend more time fixing it that welding :lol:

ive also got a few air tools to bring but my compresser is one i borrow so i cant bring that :(

one thing we'll need is an engine crane :idea:

:? :? :?: :?: What's the problem Geoff? I don't get this new attitude of yours... :? I was really hoping that someone like you - who does the job professionally and can do it really well, would actually give tips and little wisdom words for the enthusiasts. But taking a mickey out of it...?? Have I misjudged you? :?

Geoff I have you down as a decent bloke with a head like encyclopedia, who knows his stuff and does amazing job I'm jealous of 8) :lol: :lol: And got a bit confused with your two posts in the weekender makeover section... :? You know your knowledge and skills would bring the project into another level, but reading your posts made me feel worthless just because i can't do the job as well as you can. Everyone knows the difference between pro like you and excited monkey like me :wink: This van might not be 15k show van you're capable of producing, but it will be great weekend resulting in raising some money (any - really) for a charity whilst having fun, doing what we all have passion for :wink: I didn't expect the sarcasm from you...
