Default Intro

Hi. My name is Mike and I reside in Australia.

Ive owned a variety of cars, most post 1990s. However, I have recently purchased a 1965 Ford Falcon that is it need of minor rust repair.

Ive read various forums over the years on metal shaping and took a welding course about 2 years ago, but thats as far as my knowledge and experience goes (complete novice).

Prior to the Falcon I owned a 2002 Toyota Hilux (minitruck) that I paid a panel beater to build for me. Here are a few photos.

Before:


After:





The Falcon-




So ive got the car, Ive got the drive (and shed) to do it myself this time, I need to buy the tools and of course further my limited knowledge.
