At the end of august my cav will run out of tax and test. I dont know weather to sell as a rolling shell. With all the cav goodies left on it or break it. I've done a lot to the cav for the drag strip. Been a really good budget racer. But I got my 87 restored Belmont as my next project drag wep. The...

Re: North Eastern mini meet at mine and Garys unit?

Would be cool if it's before the end of august. As my cav runs out of tax and test then. Can't afford to keep the cav going as my Belmont won't be far off back to restored rolling shell. Can't justify 3 cars lol. If after end of august then I'd be in my mk4 astra Sri.

Re: Welders migs?. Advice

Does look overkill but I was assured when I got it, it would make car body work so much easier then my previous sip110 which I learnt to weld with.
And up to press with my 100% project mk2 astra Belmont has so far been so much easier. For me personally is well worth the spend
