hello and good evening to you all. Just joined the forum as i've just aquired a stag and i'll be neededing as much help as possible with it. I'll put some pics up tommorow but lets just say, it needs work doing to it. I was given it free of charge by my next door neighboor , he has had it parked in a field next to our house for sixteen yearsnow which should give you some idea of the job ahead. on a plus note , its an "s" reg stag and the front bumper is in really good condition with very little, if any rust on it, which is more than i can say about the rest. It is a soft top but has a hard top with it (never used and in his garage)from what my neigboor says Anway, its good to be here and hope to be chatting with you all shortly.

hi steve, thanks for the reply. I'm just outside guildford in surrey, i'm pretty handy with arc welding but never tried mig , looks like now is a good time to start. I'm taking some pics in the morning, if i can clear all the undergrowth off it, there are brambles 8ft tall along with bracken and god knows what else over the whole car..
cheers rob |

Yeh I think you will need to mig it,I'm in Bracknell so if you need a look over it I could pop over.There are plenty of stag owners around Surrey in fact I know of a very knowledgeable guy just outside Guildford (Worplesdon) who has a whole bunch of Triumphs including a stag he is rebuilding.
Cheers Steve

thanks for the info steve, I really like to find out who that guy is as i live only a couple miles from worplesdon. theres nothing like having an expert on your doorstep. I still need to get the car moved from the nextdoor field around to my side, sounds easy but its allmost sunk in the ground and the wheels are half way covered in soil. I may just have to get round there with a spade and my 4x4 tractor and pull it out.
if you have any contact details for the guy, i would appreciate any that you can pass my way.
cheers rob |
