vauxsenb Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 A question for all you chaps tracing the history of these LGS`s, that is originally a Scottish plate, I think, from the Glasgow area, so what dealer was registering them. Had it been Edinburgh the dealer would have probably been S.M.T. or Stirling And Wilson in these days.

0peli400 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 little update, i have spent today doing some welding, i finished the N/S floor/jacking point, chassis rail, and O/S chassis rail, tomorrow i will be doing the O/S floor and by the thottle pedel mount. i ordered 1.5mm plate but they sent me 1.6, i think 1.2mm would of done the job fine though as the 1.6 was very hard to shape, but its very strong now[] i forgot my camera today but i'll take it tomorrow. my boss is letting me use the workshop, i think without it the job would take weeks!! more tomorrow[] location: north wales.
