Default Hello I知 new to the forum

Hi
My name is Simon , I live in Poole , England .
I知 a former auto mechanic who likes working on classic triumph sports cars as a hobby I own a classic Triumph Spitfire and am a member of a local car club who痴 aim is to maintain and restore this marque. I am a novice who is trying to learn some more skills for metal shaping as I want to be more involved on my own project and be able to create parts rather than sourcing old panels I want to use the forum as a resource for hints and tips on using tools and modifications to get better results

Welcome to the forum, Simon.

Very cool to meet another Triumph fan. I was born into a Triumph family. Our TR3B is patiently waiting for some attention. What model Spitfire do you have?
