Default G`day Folks

G`day all
Troppo from Adelaide Australia here, i`ll probably see a few names i recognise from other forums but look forward to meeting you all. I`ve been a motor body builder/sheet-metal fabricator for more years than i care to remember, working everywhere from used car lots to Mercedes dealerships. For various reasons i`ve been forcwed into an early retirement and am going crazy not being able to burn or bang metal but i`m working on it.
Anyway i`ll catch you all round the boards.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys.
Its the first time i`ve met more than a few aussies let alone south aussies.
I`m in the northern suburbs Kym, you?
I love playing with metal, but my work isnt up to the standards i`ve seen in most of the posts round the boards. Motor body buillding is mainly kitform construction these days though i used to put my hands up for the repairs so i got to do a little creative banging and bashing. I`ve always loved working on cars and have always tried to make my own patch panels, some have turned out better than others though lol.
Cheers Guys
Troppo
