Here is a pic of it sorry I hit the send button instead of the picture it's a thermal arc fabricator 181i it's €750 euro. I'm also on the look out for a spot welder any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Hi I bought this one a few months ago we use them in work they are a 3 in 1 inverter welder mig tig and arc I find it a brilliant welder on all 3 settings any of the reviews on them are all positive

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like a zemax body kit

Would them fibre glass shell's be any good was looking at that earlier today

How long before we find out what kind of conversion you are doing I'm getting kinda excited to see what it is..!!!

Looking forward for this put up lots of pic's I might be going down the v-tec route myself

Next to remove the back lights, bumper, boot, bonnet, and front and back sub frame, then start grinding and welding a couple of fine days would be nice now

Got another bit done this evening put it up on axel stands removed most of the bright work and started removing the wiring loom

Was driving behind this lovely Mayfair heading through bunclody 2day

Or an ice-cream van just seen this in the mini magazine

I paid €750 for the welder, mig torch, 15kg spool of wire, box of welding rods, auto helmet, and can of anti splatter spray, got a deadly deal on it as my dad and shop owner are good friends, but normally it's €730 including vat for the welder an mig torch.

Ya no problem I'll keep taking the pictures as I go. Hopefully I can get a good run at it next week as I'm weather depended have to work outside no shed to work out of.
But got my latest toy yesterday I love this welder it works brilliant on all 3 functions mig - tig - and stick

And I even had my nephew helping me out today he mad into cars already the longest I see him sitting still for is when we're lookin at a car is reborn of wheeler dealers.

Hi all just a quick update I know it's been a while and still nottin to show but was trying to gather up tools nearly there now tho, so far I have took out the interior and next week I'm off work so weather permitting I'll have the car stripped to a shell and can start the repairs, fingers crossed

Seen a red 89 c mini driving out of Carlow town out the Wexford direction at about 1 o'clock today

I wounder if it will be restored or left after spending dat sort of money on it

Hi there is a seller on e-bay called "custom consoles for minis" and they design any type dash any colour you want i think they are about €140 or €150 delivered to Ireland I don't know if you'll be interested in it as I'm not sure it's genuine walnut but rather a walnut look but u could ma...

Hi Danny I don't know about your predicament but I do know when my car got robbed a couple of years ago if it was involved in any accidents or caused any damage it was my insurance dat would have to pay out as if I had done it myself. I don't think this helps you but how good of friends are you if i...

Very good I'm just about to start my first restoration, i see u said u got it sand blasted prob a stupid question but did u sand blast it before or after u replaced any panels? This is what I'm unsure about would it be better sand blasted before or after I replace the bad panels...

A cracking job it's a lovely looking motor all is left now is to enjoy it, how long did it take ya to finish
