When that was first posted (on the Dolomite Club forum) it had seen 300 hits then, last night, when the owner posted again, it was up to 900,000 and small wonder, the bloke deserves every one of the good things folk are saying about his amazing effort.

Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound
