Does anyone have these qualifications or experiance in these areas :?: mabe through your work :?: and fancy coming along for the weekend either post up here of PM me :D

Also - we dont have to use this unit, ideally we could do with a more central location so if you know anywhere we could possably borrow (the weekend will be JULY/AUGUST 2011) then post up - it would be ideal if we had a choice of locations to pick from and also if one backs out then the whole project isnt in jeopardy :shock:

all the a unit would need is enough space to work on 2 vans and some electric power :D we dont need specialist lifts, ramps and cranes as we'll be bringing those with us. There would need to be a local area close by for us to park up and camp on tho :)


do not need them at mine as do not employe anyone and is priviate. if you are in lincoln luke, look me up. (u got my no)
