New member from North Wales
Hi, my name is Jacob. I am from a town in North Wales called Wrexham. I am into classic cars (among many other things) I own a few BMC cars from the 50s to the 70s. I do all my own work and feel a great need to learn metal bending so that I can make my own panels. Replacement panels for some of these cars are hard to come by or don't exist. I am very new to this and would really like to learn from the wisdom and knowledge of others. I do not have any fancy machines and am interested in doing most things by hand and making my own tools and machines.

Welcome Jacob.
Do post up photo's of your vehicles as I have fond memories of working on a friends BMC some years back. Best one was pulling a Hillman Imp engine with my bare hands (no need to tell the guys it was a alloy block
