Hi Brett
Keep the pictures coming. By the sounds of it your a pro 8)
I thougth my rust was bad.
Nick
no no no im not a pro just self taught lol.i just love working with sheet metal and it gives you a great feeling of satisfaction when you see fresh new metal where rust holes were previously. ;D
The whole fe and fc movement needs people like you so full of enthusiasm,it inspires us all.
Cheers
Deano
thanks deano,by the way guys my name isnt brett its furio (token ethnic lol)
Opps just re read original post. Sorry Furio.
Anyhow... anyone with an FC ( or FE) is OK by me.
Hey Furio
Looks like a bit of work ahead of you, but it would seem you have gotten stuck straight in.
Good luck with the resto, looking forward to many more updates.
Regards
Alex
