Ads, let me know when you are planning on doing the body welding. I'll come over.

I am just coming out of replacing everything on the camper, we're talking chssis, body panels, outriggers etc so i have been in practice so to speak.

I have my trusty old Clarke welder and will come and help where every possible. I also have a full set of body hammers and dolly's.

Actually tonight I have just had to drill out fecking 300 spot welds for the sill kit on the camper.

That's coming on nicely Ads, I am up to my eye balls in VW at the moment but still give me a shout and I'll come over if you like dude.

I am fed up with Spot-weld drills, I can't seem to get the feckers to last more than a panel. Not as though there were many spot welds worth taking off on the camper.

Glad your making progress fella, like I say, give me a shout if you need some morale support.
