Re: beater skills
There are some serious skill on show there!
Doesn't it go to show that where there is a will there is always a way, I hope it makes the folks who moan about the crap quality of panels available in the UK think twice!
I wonder how much it would cost to get the speedwell car sent over to Pakistan?

Re: beater skills
Truely amazing! I dread to think how long that would take to make even the simplest of panels.
Ive seen a similar beater job before done on a VW camper. I'll try and find a link.

i doubt even the skills of the beater would have returned that bad boy to the road.
