As I work my way through the restoration of my fiat 850t I came across this repair panel It has a strange flaky coating on it that I couldn't quite place And then it hit me, it's a paint usually called appliance white or machine enamel. So why would you use a paint like this to undercoat a vehicle? You don't, someone has used the side of a washing machine or fridge freezer for steel supplies. I did it myself on my first car, also my first restoration, a thirteen year old Austin allegro. It's a pig to use as back then it was too thick and you spent ages grinding the finish off. In fact I used so much of it by the time the car hit the road the thing had four forward gears and a fast spin cycle.

Haier mate, I bet your head is in a Whirlpool, he’s made a Hotpoint of welding that up. Hope there’s no Smeg in the weld, although maybe a Hit-atchi with a mallet will help, Beko-ause that Siemens a bit of a Bosch. Sorry I’ll get my coat Ps as an added bonus at least you’ll know the interior light will always come on when you open the door 🤣

You all deserve some pun-ishment!
If I had an idea of how to Constructa sentence with Bauknecht... I wouldn't do it!

Siemensly, I used computer cases and even Ikea shelves for welding my cars. There’s a Foxconn logo at the inner wing of my MX5…

Yup any time I get chance I'll strip the case off appliances as the steel is great for welding.

A friend from school used part of a washing machine casing to make the bonnet scoop on his Mk4 Zephyr.
