What part of Bower you from? I used to live at Lime tree close

Cheers, all done in the back garden on thompson close, only lived here for a year lived all over bower, currently looking for a bigger 2 bedroom house now but has to be on bower.

fair play ,

I've read this thread about 3 times now (that alone show's how impressed I am)

its fantastic to see the skills of our club members not just chucking great wads of cash at someone and saying "build me one of those".....this car may never win any shows but I have more respect for it than a proffessionally built one ...AND ,seeing as I own a welder and a grinder ,it has just inspired me to start howard (the rust bug from hell)....

WELL DONE!!!

is it on the road yet?

yeah on the road for cuple of months now it took me about 6 weeks to do roughly but then im unemployed so loads of spare time, it isnt a show winner i agree but hes bloody solid, i keep toying with the idea of swapping for a bay not sure i still need to paint the floor yet to but the weather hasnt been on my side

A job well done Carl

Be careful dude, I have just come to my first year end of trading as self employed and I certainly wasn't able to not pay tax!!! I did however manage to get it down to 19%.
If you want I could give you a number for my accountant, I am sure he would be willing to have a chat with you providing of course you sign up with him if you go for it. All your set up costs could be set up against expenses etc, and doing something like that it would pay you to be VAT registered too so you can claim back the VAT on business purchases. As long as you syphon off the money for the VAT and IR as soon as youget it and leave it sat in a high interest account with notice required it means you can't get at it and it is making you a couple of quid a month too. I'm no expert but would be happy to offer any help I can if you are starting out. I am sure Spence could help too on this subject.

that would be great dude ive got to look into it more and try and get some more info on it as im not clued up on vat and stuff but trying to find a job in this town is not easy so bugger it im going to look into this more natwest my bank can give me a business acount but not sure what that involves so again ive got to go see them

Started the mot work today, went round to rich he lent me his impact gun went home tried to undo the hub nut no good so out came the bar and rachet, 4 rachets later still not moved, rich came round with his crack bar snap then tries the inpact gun and breaks the adapter
