[fastferretzetecmk1]

** STOP PRESS: FIRST MEET 14TH JUNE - SEE HERE: http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... c&start=15

 

 

Had a quick chat with a few guys on the OSF stand sunday about holding a Maintance day at my workshop, just wanted your ideas and what you think about the whole idea,

 

Ive ran the same thing in the past for ,local landrover and classic VW forums in the past with great results, i open my workshop for a full weekend for people to come and use my equipement and skills if needed to do pretty much anyting they need to, i have two 2 poster ramps and one 4 poster ramp, the workshop and yard will hold approx 15 cars, all i ask in return is a few quid in the pot for tea and coffee, there are loads of b+bs about for people wanting to stay over the weekend,

 

We are a fully equiped workshop with all tools needed to do allmost any jobs, from welding to fabricating, electics and fault finding,

 

How its worked in the past is as you know some members may be good at one thing and other good at another, just helps lesser qualified people getting jobs done, anyway your ideas would be good, anybody wanting to chat you can get me at the garage on 0121 708 0602 or mobile 07816 303541, cheeRS Mick

 

Oh almost forgot, this would be limited place thing and numbers would be needed before hand, and a rough idea of works needed, this would depend on how many people are willing to help out on the spanners,

sounds a good idea to me...if only I was remotely near Solihull

[Vista]

Sounds like a great offer for people in your area.

 

I assume you stick around while people are on your premises so wouldn't mind lending advice?

hence the b & b comment

[fastferretzetecmk1]

Yes im on site all weekend to help out where needed, we have internet so info or posts can be done as we need to, oh also we are fully insured for public liability, just incase,

[4parajon]

Fantastic offer for OSF members

[azz-bo]

Crakin idea! I'm in Birmingham n need some help with this dreaded back axle, I'm not tooo good with this stuff, so would be ideal for me

[FredTransit]

Very good idea, how about an optional cahrity donation?

[fastferretzetecmk1]

Charity donation is good, i do give to warwickshire air ambulance,

[mart67]

sound really good mate we could do with a local meet area in the midlands,im only 2 mins from solihull and i know there are plenty of us around with mk1's/mk2's we just need to get a midlands scene up and running!

[over_head_cam]

Sounds like a top idea fella. Maybe if enough people are there in their OSFs we can treat it as a meet too and get some Magazine coverage

[bustermb]

[mart67]

This could be a real good meeting place,ive built a few old fords now so would love to come along and help learn with others!where in solihul is the garage?

[fastferretzetecmk1]

Hi my garage is MRM Services Unit W3 James rd tyseley, B11 2BA,

 

Feel free to pop in , the kettle is allways hot

[MightySprocket]

Cracking idea and very generous offer may pop along to this one

[Grey Crayford]

I'll be there for this mate, good to see the idea is going down well with the members on here.

[mart67]

i know the one mate youve got a mk1 in at the mo havnt you thats been stripped?

[jimbo]

I'm well up for this......Welding is my priority (in terms of my learning and what the car needs doing).

 

I'm happy to help out on mechanicals, and wherever else I might be useful.

 

Hopefully, it's schedule for a weekend that I can make

[fastferretzetecmk1]

i know the one mate youve got a mk1 in at the mo havnt you thats been stripped?

 

Hi ya, yes im rebuilding a Mk1 formyself at the min, also got a full shell up rebuild on the go for my Bro in law, hes got a MK1 RS2000, the shells just come back from dipping at spl, should be starting it soon as mines off to the body shop,

[fastferretzetecmk1]

OK so looks like thos could be a good one with your support guys, need to sort out dates and numbers,

 

Im thinking of starting a monthly meet for the west mids area, any ideas? should we be looking for a pub? or a meet at my workshop? we are located in a good area with a nice strip to road test on, need your inputs guys and gals,

[simonw]

could do both, meet at garage in afternoon then cruise to the pub, somewhere like the Maltshovel at stonebridge. Easy to find (Jun 6 M42) for anyone coming later, big car park.
