Default Hi from the Fens

Hello all,
I've just joined, Heaven knows how I've missed this resource for so long.

I'm a modelmaker by trade, but a frustrated body basher by inclination and, now, intent.
I have no garage, a small workshop, the bits of an Austin 7 Cambridge Special Sports, needing the body repairing and bits renewing with a Coventry Climax FWM engine and I've just picked up an unmissable selection of bits which will make into a Burlington Baretta plans car, only it occurred to me that it would look so nice built as an Airline Coupe, so I must be mad.
I can't afford courses in coachbuilding, dammit, so it's DVDs, including David Gardner's excellent production, you tubes and intuition. If I can do it in miniature with copper, I figure I can do it with ally for real.
I have the tools, the nearby use of a good English wheel, etc. but no gas welding gear (yet), but I am convinced I can make the shapes.

So, that's me, glad to be here.
My username is the result of constant mis-spelling when I was in the Piper Club GRP, aarghh!!) and it kind of stuck and seemed vaguely suitable.

Cheers,
Martin
