Joe/Jason,

What ye're doing is only magic! Fair play to ye. My only attempt at welding was on a AnCo (pre-FAS) course 25 years ago and all I did was stick welding rods to metal. It's great ye can do the work yourselves.

Keep up the good work,

Billy

Take it easy Joe if you finish this year you will have to put the full tax on it,next year its due for the vintage.I have to say that clubmans with black arches are just the dogs danglies.I have something in the pipeline that will please all ye clubman fans out there. :wink:By the way does anyone know if that crewes missile mini is an original mini colour,I have a vague recollection of this car being a feature car in one of the mags.This is a fantastis car but I,d love to see it on a set of 10,s old skool.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.
