Then crank up the stick/Tig set and stick weld the bu**er up. Its a hybrid prop, MX5 front, Austin Healey rear. So, that has to be balanced, smuggled to a mate who works where I used to work and will be on the balancer tonight Rabbit

So, most of the heavy stuff out the way. Made some brackets and straps and fitted the refurbed fuel tank. Next will be the fuel lines and brake pipes, and then quite possibly the rear section of bodywork, fingers well and truly crossed.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.
