Hi and thanks for the welcome. I currently own a very rusting 98 Ford Transit which i hope to be bringing back to it's former glory. Living where i do means rust is not an option, it's guaranteed !!
I'm going to have a bash at recreating panels. For a few reasons really. I enjoy working with my hands, i have done so for years , though not to much with metal. I'm at a point in life where i feel i need to learn something new, call it a void if you like. The cost of pressed panels quite frankly puts me off also.
I hope to take pics' as i go along, before & afters of my newly learned 'skills' .
Cheers the now,
Ross.
