    All good chief- some awesome work there! On the stainless v-band did you stitch it alternately then go back and fill the gaps?

    That's a serious sized decking you've got in the garden there!

    @monkeyseemonkeydo I fired 5-6 small tacks round the perimeter and then got a blowtorch on the cast and then it was a single weld round. The cap on the old WG port I used mild filler as the plate was mild also, and weaved over the rod (with preheat as the flange) 

    Yeah, it kept growing!!

    How it began..

    I'm liking this thread!

    I'm usually found in the garage in the evenings making stuff, most of which is "car thread" content but will try and remember to post some non-car stuff in here.

    A few more recent things I've made to contribute here (there might be car stuff..)

    Scale mock-up for a residential strip and fire resistant re-clad project we'll be doing - One of those London residential building over 18m you've been hearing about in the news so often. Area will be 2000m2

    A little bit of TIG work here - Stainless v-band to cast turbine housing. I most likely used the wrong filler (308) but that's what I had.

    Added the little bit of fence infill to the left the other day, but the entire lower section including the sleeper retaining wall with steps, lower artificial grass, decking, back fence was completed by myself last year. Top section of 'turf' will be getting redone hopefully this year when the extension gets done.

    Twin plenum inlet manifold, this was my first real aluminium TIG project undertaken

    That'll do for now - no idea if the images will work as I've linked them to my google photo account - let me know if not and I'll have to upload them to the forum.

    Ok, our offer got rejected. Our 183k offer (3k over the home report evaluation) was the lowest offer they got. We didn’t get the exact figures but they hinted that the accepted offer was ~240k! That’s 60k over the houses value, people are crazy! 
     

    the hunt continues, I’m getting pretty eager to get out of this house, it’s no fun living with the in-laws and the upstairs neighbors suck, the teenage lad thinks he’s a gangster and plays shit rap whenever he’s in and smokes weed which stinks out this house too and him Mum snores like a jackhammer every night from 9pm onwards... I’m not sure how much more I can take 

    Hi Ali long time no see/speak! Hard luck on the rejected offer, but I've found things like this always iron themselves out. We've had offers rejected on places we thought we've loved but then there is always another house around the corner that comes up, for the right price that'll suit you more. Fingers crossed it'll be the same story for you!

    What's the blue (purple?) one?

    All I see is a big old turbo, which is never a bad thing B)

    It's just a B5 Audi S4.

    Rwd, saab engine, diy dry sump, holset hx40 turbo, vems management, bmw 6 speed manual, nissan S14 rear diff housing, cusco RS LSD. Widebody is all metal and all my own.

    Because I'm apparently incompetent

    Hi guys!

    My name's Andy and I'm new here. I see for a trials-forum some of you also have an interest in cars - which I do too! I think we might get along.

    Below is a picture of my track cars, neither of which work, seemingly ever. Even if they did, they'll probably be considerably slower than my company car. 

    :lol:

    Is it wrong that I imagine your life in the same way that I imagine the front cover of "the very hungry catapillar"?

    Change it to "the very sexually frustrated catapillar" and make it a story of Andy P smashing the back doors off every woman he meets until one day he wakes up a beautiful butterfly?

    That is actually my most favorite book of all time! And I'm not frustrated, that would imply that I don't get any...

    And Luke... I only go for butterflies. Standards.

    I would;

    1. Because she would sexually destroy you which would be well funny.

    2. Because you would have to exchange for a go on your ring girl.

    Why is it that the thought of you banging my missus doesnt offend me as much? Because I know she would just be a blur in your sexual encounters.

    Ring girl was last week man. There's been 2 since.... :-

    Word, Andy P the sexual pest.

    (not to mention morals! :P)

    Don't get me wrong, Andy's life (for instance!) seems much more fun than mine and he is never bored and people in general flock to him.

    But then agai Andy has traveled the world and had his fingers in lots of pies...lol

    Thats about my life summed up in one post. LOL

  22. Protein Shakes

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    Not read much of the thread but I thought I'd chip in for the past 2-3 weeks I've been on 7 meals a day consuming approx 350-400g protein (mostly from food - I'm only getting 36g from a single daily shake) and I probably average about 110g of carbs daily most of which are consumed before mid day. Calories are generally quite low (around 2000)
