8) an "a" frame is a good tool to have. 5 minutes connects it up. we sat at a steady 60 on the motorway could probably have pushed it on a bit more but 60 is enough. good photo of my premacy as well. it was a great day out. the mk3 suits the tc wheels dont you think.

got stuck into it already with the grinder sadly the o/s headlamp panel dissintegrated and all the fibre glass and stuff holing it together fell out so I have plated it and welded it up, I took the aerial out and ground it back and that is all solid I also ground out the rot at the front of the o/s wing and made up a patch and let that in the only other bit of welding needed is in the boot under the spare wheel looks a bit tricky making up a patch for that but them bloody arch trims cause more harm than good 3 out of 4 arches have suffered in some ways but at least it is rock solid underneath floors, sills and inner wings etc look very good i'm going to take the tc alloys off and put it back on standard wheels and trims might sell the wheels as they are fitted with 4 nearly new michelin energy 155 80 13s tyres so must be woth a few quid to someone probably stick em on the bay,
here are a couple of pictures work done so far
