Some good quility work gone on there I use to do mot welding I'm my motor trade days, not sure if you are a very good home DIY or you do it for a living. Nice to see all the tin worm cutout. Do you use brush on seam sealer or out of a tube ? Looks like the old girl is not too rusty just all the common Toyota places, keep up the good work and look forward to more updates. Bob.

Again some great work gong on, I guess if all that work had been done at workshop labours rates it would have been off to the breakers with it.

yes bob definatly not an economic repair, probly would'nt do it if it was another, we have always been attached to this car, we knew we would buy it back at some point harvey, yea know what you mean about laying on the floor, getting hot blobs dropping all over ya ta22 sounds kool, good luck wiv it been on the phone to jeff at platinum about a pair of master cylinders, clutch and brake, clutch one is no longer available apart from a rebuild kit, not sure on the brake master as he needed a bit more info which i didnt have as i was at work when i spoke to him.
