So worth it.

Should have been £0:70p each.

£10?

Convert the house. Keep the kitchen and one bedroom. Rack out the other bedrooms, remove non structural walls.
If it's a semi, remove the kitchen as well and cut a serving hatch in the party wall.

Wife already gave it to our daughter. Im sure she wouldnt miss a bit of the garden

Here was my solution - his (workshop) and hers (in red) division of the back garden. I pretty much maxed out the available space for the workshop. And less grass to be cut!

Something to keep me busy when I have nothing else to do. Whenever that might be.

new mig torch, bought a cheapy to make sure my modification would work as need a fly lead to dinse plug for power connection...it does work but i had to drill the cable lug out more than id like so will take a trip out tomorrow and get a better lug for it. providing there are no issues over next few weeks i will upgrade to something a bit nicer, although that said, just having a torch with the right length and angle swan neck has made a massive difference. quick test weld just now flat out at 250 amps and not only is it comfier, it doesnt get hot, or atleast not as quickly, the old torch would have been smoking after 15 seconds at 250...this one was still cold after the same weld.

I haven't got the eyes or fingers for one of those now!

I'm hoping I do. This can be a practice run, I've got a couple of small (maybe 1:43) Audi quattro white metal kits where stuff like the gear lever and pedals are separate items, so I need to build up to them.

Fruit Trollies? You've completely lost me there

I’ll post under stuff made at the end of the week.

Looks like it'll need the rear wheel arches welded soon though, looking at the shadows of the second pic and the rust on the offside arch in the last pic.
These vans corrode mostly around panel seams. Other problem area were the rear quarters underneath (essentially the area below the tail lights, as dirt used to collect in the sections).

That colour makes it an ex-Transco van prior to being rebranded to SGN.
The Travel Power system was pretty rare in those vans, as most of that era had Gardner Denver driveline powered on board power systems to provide compressed air and 110V, so the van would have had a pretty easy life under Transco/SGN ownership.
The Travel Power system used a custom belt driven alternator, which was no where near as reliable.

So it’s possible that the low 135,000 mileage could be meaningless on low engine wear if it’s sat at high idle speeds day after day,for years?

£10?

I couldn't work out why it is a bargain too!

I'm surprised it didn't rust away in the box!
