I've got an excellent tame welder in Widnes if that's any use to you.

Here Chris Stevens would actually have some experience, having spent many years bodging rotten old VWs.

I dont actually need to work now, as I was left a rather large sum of money a couple of months ago..............One wonders if the most gutless sock on usenet is as well heeled as I find myself now?

Your post says otherwise.

The other day you were saying that I was Bunt. So was that a lie, apparently. You really do need to make your mind up you silly old man.

Seems strange that you seem to know my real name, and details of my recent health problems then?

Why dont you unsock I wonder? Perhaps you have a liking for kiddies like your slimy m8 from Devon?

How strange that yesterday you were crowing that "at work all your phone calls were recorded". What a lying little hypocrit you are.

Not strange at all. Stupid liars always get caught out.

Ah, the Standard Chris Stevens Avoid The Truth Tactic No 3 - unfounded accusations. You're more transparent than a sheet of glass, and about as interesting.

In news:4554be75@212.67.96.135, Ken wittered on forthwith;

I had a stretch Cadillac Fleetwood welded *today*[1]. Two sections of floor around 4ft long by 8inches wide, both sides, old rust cut out, sections made to fit, welded in, dressed, painted, sealed and schultzed - £350 for the full job including stripping the interior / refitting and valeting the interior.

It's now stronger and better welded than it was when it was originally stretched and is unlikely to rust in the next 10 years.

[1] Whole job has taken 2 days from beginning to end, and is exquisitely done, best bit of welding I've seen in a long time, more like a floorpan restoration than just an MOT job.

Did you notice how he avoided the dissatisfied customers and the lost court cases?

He HATES the truth, that's why he has me kill filed so he won't see the truth :-))

Doesn't he always. He can't answer the fact that he's a washed up failure without either more lies or unfounded abuse.

....that he's like to have been anonymous if he could have worked out how to do it.....

Nope. There was an accident with the furnace fire. It heated his unit. It was kept as coals 24/7 because it took most of the day to get going. He used logs to burn. A log that wasn't as far down as he thought=20 cracked and spat a chunk out onto a car seat that was out while the=20 floor pan was being repaired. He was at home and got a call from a=20 customer at the snooker club across the road. By the time he got there=20 it was too far ablaze to do anything with. And the most reasonable=20 priced, hardest workest, and honest welder I know lost everything he=20 had. I've know a few cowboys, and I've known some guys who will do spot=20 on jobs but charge the earth. Mick did strong jobs. Not always pretty=20 but if that wasn't visible it didn't matter. And he always cut back to=20 good metal and he always told you if anything else was needing doing and=20 he always added back to hidden braces/webs if they had corroded too.=20 Even if it made more work for him and he had quoted to fix it without=20 the extra. He would stick a bit more on, but not enough for the extra=20 time.

When a =A350 job became nearly all evening from 5PM until 11pm (he worked= =20 all day and wpuld stay open for punter out of normal hours), because he=20 found a structural internal section gone too, instead a simple buttweld=20 outer sill patch, the job only went to =A370 for 6 hours work.

I really hope he got things sorted with a new unit somewhere.

You don't need to be brain of britain mate. It is easy. I just trolled a troll and he is feeding back. Fantastic. I thought you had trolled better than me. Obviously not.

I'm fine ATM, the Octi is good for a few years yet, bless VW and their anti corrosion promises. I'll have sold it and bought some unsuitable by the time it needs sorting out.

But who is it anyway?

Sounds like he'd have done better to charge a little more, to cover the cost of insurance...
