    Ah good you are doing stuff! Looks like it's moving in the right direction overall. At the weekend I did a Land Rover thing, I took the mostly fallen off door completely off the Discovery :D

    I had a pinto bottom end that was sat outside for a number of years, I got it moving by heating some diesel in a small sauce pan and pouring it on the pistons. Might be worth a try.

    You won't replicate zinc coating with a cold spray as zinc is applied by hot dipping. Much like cold galv spray doesn't look like galv. I think as long as it does it's job of protecting the metal then it's fine.

    Ah yes I can see the rodney on the other end of the device of impalement. Do they not hear the big bell that's on it? :D

    Is that a lever under the seat or some sort of impaling device in the event of a crash? Also, is that thing on the tailboard for women?

    Does he want to come up here? We have to pay them to come and take scrap now, about £100 for a scrap car at the moment. That's very unheard of up here, used to be they'd pay you back in the good days and take it for free any other time. Anyway, looks like a good project even though the guy...

    I have the same engine crane but mine is all the same colour (red)! :p The question is: Is that a three wheel bicycle that carries a wheely bin? o_O Do both at the same time... Impact gun going flat out in one hand and swinging a hammer (hopefully at the bolt!) in the other hand. :cool...

    It's all down to technique, I've seen screws going through glass removed with an impact driver. Old skool finesse with hand tools which is sadly dying out as generations pass. Yeah I've known of Frost for a long time, and yes they are pricey but some of their stock is worth it, most things can...

    This is the one I have: At the time we could only really get Sealey on the island so in a situation where you need it now you have to go with it. Have to say though it is actually pretty good and has stood up well to lots of use and abuse. The bits do chip/break perhaps a bit premature but...
