I’ve never seen a council communal area look so nice. Where is all the spray painted graffiti and fag lighter burns?

I’ll take a pic next time I’m working in the local ones.... looks like the dodgiest east London doss house in the 60’s.

I said to one of my lads today,this must be the tidiest council estate for miles,hundreds of them! Spotless everywhere,some of the garages still have the 1950’s wooden doors,no graffiti,very little litter,countless bird nesting boxes in the eaves.

If you put oak handrails in any of the sxxtholes in west London they'd be gone in 60 seconds! Nice job!

Re-made some very worn throttle rods on a '56 Vauxhall Velox. Had to make a simple press brake to bend the 7/32 and 1/4" mild steel rods. I replaced some of the ends with ball joints and turned bushes where the receiving part were worn (saves welding and redrilling). Finished in cold black oxide.
