what do you find is best for cutting this? i tried a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade but it clogged up within about 8 inches. used a grinder with a cutting blade and even that seemed to be struggling :confused:
 
'Cos it's soft you'll need a blade with a different tooth pattern than the average metal cutting blade but I doubt if they're available you may do it with a blade with less TPI but you don't want to go too course. For grinding ally you need a special disc, if you use an ordinary disc you risk blowing the universe up.

Best thing to do is forget the chequerplate and go for wider wheels a body kit a flash paint job and drive about with your front fog lights on.

:D it aint for show, its to hide a rusty tailgate and bonnet.
 
if you must cut chequer plate( why oh why don't these folk buy a welder and do a proper job?) get yerself a 14yr old and hand him a hacksaw and tell him what you want cutting. then sit back with a beer and wait till he's finished.
don't fergit to offer wurds of encouragement , like.... ffs hurry up!! the rest of me landy is rustin away or stop that fer a minute and go get me another beer!
 
slob you're a fookin genius. just need tae find a 14 year old that aint gettin stoned or ****ed. quite rare these days.
 
or find someone that just bought a series and needs some practice cutting stuff. preferably one that owes you
 
iye, he can do me chaver plate while i replace his smashed windows. feckin 14 year olds i bet ya.
 
I used a metal cutting blade that fits in a stanley knife handle. goes through it quite nicely, then tidy it up with a file.
 
Now that is funny..... slob supprised he didn't think of it him self. Good thing he has friends like you:D If I where pockets, id be throwing rocks in your direction about now
