Brushed and brushless the brushless drill has had a ton of use but the brush disc disc grinders is hardly used

That's who I used last time ,didnt feel there was much value for money

Any recommendations on who to take some battery drills and a disc grinders to for some repairs ( 18v Makita ) I think t's mostly switch problems one drill you shake it to get it to run after pulling the trigger

Fridge is 1600 high just measured the hatch back can only fit 1500 in it Have to go out to Avalon tonight but if I put in the back of the rubbish compactor truck it will look very second hand

I got a couple of hammers with pick ,one I cut off and welded a old smallish cold chisel ,great for forming a bend in a panel or reforming a bent one

I got a few spare comma and heel dollies will send them up might still have a shrinking hammer wit busted handle

I know of a xf Ute here that could be for sale body is getting rough but it was daily runner till parked up when he got a company vehicle pretty sure the rego is dead

Come to my place you now where I am have a couple of spare beds

Lucky it didn't have the number plate on it and its imbedded in some super expensive brand new car

Ben is that the guy that rang me

Its been sitting at a local garage for a couple of years the owner got sick and died The garage kept the ergo on hold for him

If you decide to go to the jag IFS there is a complete going car here in Wellington its low mileage with rego on hold you could have for 200.00 perhaps 100.00 either take the whole car or strip out every thing you want or could sell off .im sure my mate wouldn't mind you using his yard to disembowel it and load it on to trailer with his digger

Dam wish I lived in Auckland I would throw in a bit of old school expertise I way prefer / motivated to do mates cars than mine lol

Have people that come in every week glue a patch on top throw some paint at it for a wof

Walker mcluskie do a lot of rust repairs ( I do part time work there) last year we did a major rebuild on a early kombi I'm just starting a full floor and sill replacement on one side of a mini (rust ) was cheaper to put new panels in than repair them he's always pretty fully booked know there are tow more kombi coming in next year one is a front panel other one he recon would be months of just cut and replace the beauty about replacing panels is you can get to clean up seams that you could never get to and panels behind it rust it like the proverbial iceberg you only see 1% of the rust and its a case of how far the customer wants to go

I had a vs and the crank angle sensor played up it would intermittently stop while idling was easy fix I think it was 25 bucks and about 3 minutes to change the local garage scanned it and told me the problem

Or you could do like what I have done and have a couple of extra cheap electric compressors under the bench which I plug in to the big tank I have when I need a bit extra Will run a high volume spray gun full time but my big old 3/4 rattle gun will get a couple of stubborn truck wheel nuts off before I need to let it catch up but that rattle gun is real old school and just hogs the air it was second hand when I brought it 40 years ago

The door cards look good did you get them done

I have sat in the back of a couple or three of them in In my youth but that's another story

Re your last post I personally would go up way higher with the patch that brown stuff is rust starting to happen Had the same in my Holden doors I went up 400mm got skins from earls body shop $135 + gst

I will be the skinny good lookin guy there hehe

I will be in makara Saturday morning for most of the day that's where the carpenters workshop is he's got bench saws buzzers and planers

Where are you ? Depends on how far away you are you could probably use the bench saws in the workshop I work in on the weekend

For panel steel I think 160 is ample more important is the ability to set the amps in fine increments I have a old bôc 185 , coincidentally the same welded at a panel shop where I help out part time .it has 5 course amp settings and 5 fine and generally used on 3 c 2 f . For spot and lap joins 2c3f for jap steel butt weld I have welded up 12 mm plate ( v join ) on many occasions
