Greetings from South Africa

[TrevG]

Hi Everybody

My name is Trevor and I live in Cape Town , South Africa.

I want to learn more about metal shaping because I have a VW Beetle and three VW Kombi's in various states of disrepair.

All of them need rust repair and although there are panels available for all of the necessary repairs the exchange rate makes them very expensive to buy here in South Africa (Even the cheapest panel cost more than I spend on food for a week)

If I am ever going to get any of my projects on the road I am going to have to do it myself.

I have access to a lathe and have more time than money so making workshop equipment to make the panels I need is my aim.

Looking through the posts on this site there are so many good ideas to make equipment that would cost a fortune to buy.

Looking forward to learning how to make my own equipment.
