Mathew Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Well with three full size cars i have only been allowed small ones! Not a bad haul. Herald vangaurd model five pounds. Two tr3a's open top 4 pounds the other 3 pounds both corgi. The Tr7 was 50p . Now the red tr3a needs a little clean but should i restore the Tr7? Its even got authentic rust underneath! They will join the stag and spitfire in my little collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carve a Blank to get the correct shape polish it within a inch of its life smooth. Get some clear plastic pin it roughly over the blank, Put in Mothers oven, steal `er indoors hair dryer?. Until it warms enough to take the shape. allow to cool, trim and fit?. Edit:- See, Pete knows how it`s done!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Hi The year I started Work!. Sweeping Floors and making tea/ running errands (mostly to the bookies! or for the Bacon Rolls!), for a bunch of "hairy ar*ed" fitters Before going into the aprentice school. Hence why I thought myself "too old" for a kid`s programme. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
