Re: Monte Carlo Historique, Dumfries checkpoint

I've just noticed this forum cuts bits off the pics. I should have resized them, but nevermind, they give an idea.

An interesting acco...

Re: Welding help!

And remember that while you're MIG welding, you're holding a fire extinguisher in your hand. A squirt of gas will quickly put out underseal that starts to burn. (But keep an eye on the reverse of the panel - it's not unusual to suddenly realise that the car is full of smoke when you're welding the ...
