Hi folks.

here's my Ermie, all carved up!

Bought for £500 about 7 years ago. Some welding done to date to keep safe.

however, time to do something a little more, before it got beyond repair (there's probably those who will say she already is....but hey, I love her and have saved to get this work done)

.. always such a traumatic time, mine's up on chocks at the moment (must be that time of year) with quite a few bits and pieces missing, so the paracetamol is a good tip :wink:
