Post your workshop

Phew I'm glad you said bomb :-) If the flypress is in your way........ I'm also looking for a heavyweight set of rolls...say 24" wide and able to cope with up to 3-5mm. BTW its no use anyone trying to mail me at the moment, problems hopefully of short duration. regards

I'll try and get some pictures of my total chaos this week - moved house on Friday including over 4 tons of iron so things are in a bit of a mess at the moment. Haven't found the digital camera yet - still trying to figure out where to put the autotruck chassis that's clogging the patio (anyone want it? free to collector!).

Roland - please let me know when your e-mail is fixed - I'm well chuffed with the Ogle stuff BTW!

Will also do a reply to the Tangye thread when I find the relevant box with my stuff in it.

Regards Dan

Bet it's exhaust pots for esoteric 1920's two strokes.....

Dan

Bit thick for a exhaust pot ?

Mart>>

Close but no cigar. The pots will be made from time-expired diving cylinders of which I took delivery of samples at the weekend. I'd settle for something with 1mm capacity (especially if it had the shaped rolls but also need to roll pulleys as I can't get pipe of the right OD. I'll probably end up paying the local fabricator to do em as he is a Ruston Bucyrus collector (six at the last count). I look forward to hearing that your Ogle runs very soon.... regards from a very sticky Devon Roland

Hehe, very messy indeed! :)

Ah the ALFASUD, shame about the tinworm, the ORIGINAL hot hatch! Still got some bits from mine in the garage, Loved that car! Rust and a Volvo killed it off!

Mine is a _perfect_ external bodyshell, just waiting for me to weld the cracked firewall around the steering rack mounts. It's going to be worth waiting for. 8-)

One of the smallest engines I've ever had, yet one of the most fun cars to drive.

Nice trailer Martin.

Also very cheap. :-))

Nobody spotted the two classic cars in my pics then.

I've just put a few pics of what will be my new workshop up at

At least I shouldn't be able to push projects into the corner when I get bored of them ;-)

Cheers

Dan

Yeah ............easy........ a VW and a Welsh trailer........

Or a Bedford and an IMP?

Anthony

What!!! An Alfa with no rust??????? Now thats rare!!! Lol

Great engine. Handles well, but one or two quirks, inboard discs for one, used to fade like hell on the hills around here, changed to Mintex pads which made it better. Then braided hoses (cost a bomb at the time) and finally rigged some ducting from front of car. And finally got brakes to match the handling.

Anthony

No _external_ rust.

I bought it in '97 - there are bills from '95 for almost every outside body panel. A nice restoration job !

I do still have some work to do around the strut mounts. These are foam filled boxes, so welding is a nightmare.

Oh ..I thought it was an Ivor Williams :-))

Anthony

Gentlemen, Not just any Imp its also a Sunbeam Sport,

My First car was a Sunbeam Sport. Went well and handled like a dream - rusted like a b*****d!
