    Metal Fabricator

    Are there any members out there that are handy with a welder and pretty good/interested at fabbing up custom parts. this could be a money maker for you if the credit crunch is having adverse affect on your workload.

    Id like to organise having parts made that will be available to forum users - flexability is key here.

    It will mean becoming a trader and taking on the releted fees but that is just a drop in the ocean if you are experienced with a TIG/MIG welder.


    suspension components, boost pipes, exhaust - all manner of items to be explored.

    thanks

    just to clarify this isnt a help out if needed deal.

    will need to arrange a permanent setup, ie a forum member emails/pms an order, sorts payment and can expect items in a few weeks without fail.
