Just think of it of another new skill to learn and master Dom. Get stuck in and remember there's loads of us on here to offer advice and support if required.

Crack on!

It always blows me away how quickly you get stuff done Dom! No doubt you'll soon have it back on the road looking amazing like every other car you've done.

And if I can teach myself to weld with zero experience, you most certainly won't have any trouble!

Well done Dom. Keep going you are on the easy bit now, it just sometimes does not feel like it as you can work on it for a day and not see a change. Then the next day some big stuff goes on or shiny bits and you get a real feeling of accomplishment.

I once had a Forest Green Husky, it was a bitsa-workhorse. Used to move spares and engines around.

It had a Van low compression engine with sport cam and single SU carb, lots of torque but no revs. It would even pull another Imp on a trailer, but brakes took 2 miles to stop!!! Probably not allowed to do that nowadays.

Unfortunately it got trashed, but I wish I still had it because it was so useful...
