Default Saying hi from across the pond :)

Just popping in to say hi. Got far too many projects , most of which require custom bodywork. Hate bondo so have taught myself panel beating, fabrication etc.

Not perfect but getting there, looking forward to learning from y'all as well.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hello Paul and welcome to the site.

Don't feel alone in the too many projects department. Everyone on this board has 2 or 3 things going at the same time, and then the wife wants to know if you can stop for dinner................ silly girl.

Hi Paul. A bloke with four projects, two lathes - and a shaper! Does your wife have a sister? A great depth of knowledge on here and some very giving people.
