Chris thankfully you don't need my help because you can weld. it's like an extended family now with juppy and Splutter. mind you at the rate Steves going he'll soon be able to do everything himself. Then I'll be discarded like an old pair of shoes :(
 
Sadly my panda DOES need welding :cry:, but thankfully its just a case of removing the rear screen and rubber, cutting out the rust under the rubber seal, and welding in some new metal. Its the priming and painting that i hate :(
 
Can I ask a question of you guys on the mainland.

Why is it people over there think it's such a big deal to fly over here to collect a car and drive it home. I ask because I have had a lot of interest in the car from people mainland but once they realise it's in N.I they can't travel. :bang:

You should of put it in the ad that for an extra 100 quid you'd get the car shipped to Liverpool and they could collect it there.... (or something similar for the Scottish/welsh)

See simple answer for simple English people who won't come to the emerald isle....

Or you could use the 'HydroMerc' option like on my S Class and get it to do to the Irish sea what Hitler did to Poland...

This is me looking for a bit of extra Lebensraum just off the North Channel between Ballygally and Scotland.....

If you want it bad enough, you'll go and get it.

Wouldn't bother me.
 
it would depend on how much i was spending.

if its a few grand, then a extra 100 to ship it isnt much, but if its a cheapy then thats like 10% of the value, and not really worth it!
