How about a nice floral arrangement guys

🤣

Austin Powers van time! 

ha ha guys.
Actually, nothing wrong with a nice glady.
I was impartial to the daisy's on the Scooby Doo mobile.
 
Anyhow.
 
Interesting ways to burn your garage down:episode 7:
My new $5 welding clip on torch from Ali Express was a bargain.
After charging it, I  then plugged in my trusty Nebo for a charge, using the same Ali usb cable.
 
After a two or so minutes, magic smoke was being generated from the lead, but I hadnt noticed, as I was back to cutting the radiator closing panel out.
Fortunately my daughter happened to walk in the shed, and caught my attention and we both saw what looked like a whispy smoke stream pouring off the cable.
I'm not sure if the USB fitted powerboard would have tripped eventually, but i'm guessing the Nebo's 18650 battery could take a larger curent draw when charging, simply beyond what the cheap lead could handle.
 

 
hope youze all had a grouse stayliaday
 
 

It must be a Lucas model
Yep I know a lot of Aussie companies (I deal with Gemcell) push Australian made and certified. Sometimes I feel they have an obvious hidden agenda and I suppose sometimes (as in this case) there is something in it?

Sorry for the loss of the type C cable !
Glad you didn't cook any cars, that would be devo ..
I usually bin the cords they supply as I've had one arc out at the phone end, lucky no damage to Android. Having Chinee stuff go spontaneous is becoming normal, prolly their brand plan to take over the world...!!

Speaking of Chinee appliances, this came in today, it's a plastic welder, only bought cause the grill on the Rally Pack is broken so I'll have a shot at seaming it back together. Could also use petg from the 3d printer stocks and use to like Tig welding filler maybe...

Marty if you get excited, there's around Mk2 grill with a couple of busted fins going cheap in Geelong., like free.
Might be able to use parts of it for the repair.....

All good mate, I'll use what we got here, and I have a few grills to choose from if this one doesn't make the grade. Early days yet..

The remainign rear bubble arch is now massaged into shape.
Well, at least something that resembles the drivers side, and will allow the 15's to roll.

 Happy with how it came out, it got a little more tweaking after this pic, and it's now covered under a skim of filler to blend in.
And the replacement gauge sheet came in, with new 5V voltage regulator. Just need soldering,the bulbs refitted and she can go back in the 4 door.

oh, nice looking branding iron Marty!
 
I like the warning messages.
Could do a side gig making prison tatts with the one.
