I've enjoyed it

I don't know, the fact he is still here to tell the tales makes him quite lucky I think 😉

Someone needs to confiscate the hole saw off of him, thought the back door was bad enough 'til I realised the window above the sink was chain drilled with it too.

Well you won't get sun in your eyes! They've done wonders for the departure angle with that step.

I'd forgotten all about that Ralph.

Good to see this thread still getting use, can't believe it's 13 years since this got done.

These patches, the rear one doesn't look to be doing anything.

What are the patches on the roof either side of the window for?

Don't buy a lottery ticket Mike ...... 😕

I was thinking it's good value for a ULEZ compliant run around

A leak in the radiator or oil cooler could be 'fun'

This unfortunately stalled, most likely because of some other project getting in the way. I may take another look ar it, see what has changed in the world of IDA Pro in the last 8 years (currently it's at version 8.3)

I don't think a weld on a spring would last long tbh. This one on eBay for a Record (probably the one you have already found) looks like it would work. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174838116657 It has the following dimensions so you should be able to get an idea of the chances of it fitting before purchasing. (The spring ends as far as I can see look right too) Spring measures approx: Overall length: 83.5 mm External Spring diameter: 19 mm Internal Spring diameter: 14.2 mm Wire diameter: 2.2 mm

How broken? If it's just the end it is usually possible to heat the end of the spring till red and fashion a new end to the spring if you get what I mean. There's a lot more vice nerds over on https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/show-us-your-bench-vice-s.52872/page-434 they might have ideas as to where a replacement can be found.

He did indeed
