atocp Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi Adam, welcome! If you're restoring bits and bobs, the workshop is a great forum for advice. I've been given a lot of help from these fine folk. You could even consider creating a project in the project forum to detail your work start to finish for stuff....can even help with portfolio of your work in the future!! -atocp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
