Re: '80 & '81 Austin Morris Princess and a '75 Renault 6TL

Once that was ground back I was faced with the best bit of welding I've ever achieved. This puts me a bit ahead of where I was with my welding and a lot ahead of where I was with putting repair panels in. It's called practice . When I start the yearly patching up for the MOT it looks like an incont...
