Re: look wat i bought!!!
That is some of the best hen sh**e welding I have seen in years,are you trying to weld with the gas turned off or are you trying to weld over dirt. 
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Re: look wat i bought!!!
finally got my finger out today,
its outside, and on all fours... the last 2 months or so time has been scarce and also enthusiasm... lol
all the windows are back in to seal her,up, but i had to put the old w/screen rubber in as i cant seem to find the new one i got anywhere... about half of my hen doodoo welding is ground down and primed.
theres still plenty to do, change the gear linkage, find out why she is'nt charging, plumb in the fuel lines, put on the new slave cylinder, weld up yet another hole, tighten all the water holes and check the 2n'd hand rad for leaks... and then crak on and get the car prepped for paint, oh and paint the wheels... the list goes on lol
i'll get some pics up later when i get back inside...
