Hes got an old oil covered bench in a council garage.. His only tools are a massive hammer and some old hacksaw blades... But he is pretty good with a grease gun...... :wink:

I've been evicted from the council garage, but I bought an inflatable garage from Machine Mart, so i'm now anywhere I can hack into some electric... very big hammer still in use though :wink:
I only do stock or dropped spindles and steering boxes to order.

Thanks to all for the kind words....not you Nick :)

That's not the only inflatable he's got, and the tool he uses in that is nothing to sing and dance about :wink:

Classic Le Mans next year??
