Sorry Carl, you've just reached my killfile

Nowt personal, but I've killfiled Ken and his socks, now you're the
only one I'm still getting "static" from, I'm not interested in Ken or
his socks, just cars and stuff

To be fair to Carl, Tony... that link is very entertaining...

Maybe the Ken Reference was a mistake, but I couldn't resist. Having a
bit of a dark mood day.
Shows how apparently "restored" cars can be a total heap of poop and
weird ideas.

How can that much rust not see a torch? Even some bird poop gas weld on
a bit of old road sign would have been stronger than pop rivetted copper
sheet surely?

Coming from someone who cant even hold down a job as a keyboard monkey, its
rather amusing that such a clueless ****wit has the audacity to attempt to
rip the **** out of others!

Simple. No MOT-equivalent...

Now go and say several thank-yous to your nearest MOT man.

Oh I've always spent money on getting welding sorted before the MOT.
I've even in the past been surprised when what I thought were going to
be fails scraped through. So much that I had told my "welder mate" I
would be if he wasn't busy, then been surprised that they past.

Shame his workshop burned down taking three local businesses with it.
Don't know if he has moved and setup else where or given up.
He lost a two post lift, all the general tools he used for the general
mechanicing he did, a very big looking Cebora MIG, and very large
compressor, or the spraying gear for when he was doing proper rather
thank "MOT pass" standard work.

Yes, but you got it welded because you KNEW that it would need to be done
within the next year for the MO

Oh yes.
I've spent more on the welding than buying the car sometimes, because
mecahnically nothing else needed doing and it just happened to be one
week area that was worst than originally thought and needed a second
look at.

Its never worth while patching an old car, as it is always going to need far
more welding the next year, unless the work has been done 100% correctly,
which 9 times out of ten will cost more than the cars worth!

The cars that are most commonly bodged in this way are VW Beetles, many of
which are so rotten they shouldnt really be on the road!

No someone that actually did car resto work for 12 years, before having to
give up for health reasons!

I wonder how long you have been doing this type of work?

Or are you just another ****wit who enjoys parting thier arse cheeks, and
posting the results here?
