lo'
 

lo all.

i run my own honda resto company here in the uk. i started it with next to nothing and do all the work from welding all the way through to paint along with a fair bit of re-building. (i much prefer using bodysolder over filler anyday!)

i have an mig welder, set of basic metal stretcher/shrinker jaws and im about to invest in an english wheel so here to see what to look for and how to learn from it. (also all the panel fab sections you have, i make do with basic tools i have and do a good job but always willing to learn more)

few pics of completed jobs over the last year or so (its not unusual for most of these to have over 150 hours work in them lol)

not bad for someone whom taught himself to paint from nothing and had a minimum wage job this time last year (booked out well until the middle of 2015 now with hondas and track sport cars) lol.

looking forward to learning lots more and pushing my skills alot further in the panel fabrication department.

other than an English wheel i would really like a tig welder to tig weld in new replacement section rather than mig them in as you just cant panel beat a mig weld

CHeers!

Aaran nice paint work.. welcome to the forum
