SOLers forgive me for I have bodged.
Nothing as swashbuckling as making my own 7-cylinder flathead, or holding on
axles with half a tree, just nasty PO-type bodges, motivated by poverty
or ignorance, like
* Rewiring a car with all red wire. Well, it was free!
* Putting a wooden floor in a Jaguar
* Covering rusted exhausts with glass mat and resin
* Isopon! (Bondo) : why, it was such a part of my life I used to make my
own! First with proper china clay, but when that ran out, with Thistle
plaster (the pink stuff). An extra dollop of accelerator so it used to smoke
and turn brown as it set, but boy, was it hard - nothing could shift it!
There, I feel better for that!
Paul.
