A beautiful Spring day here today. Not bad for the middle of February. Mr Loon was having a day off, so I had the workshop to myself. Just me & the cat, listening to the radio & pottering. I should've got loads done, but I didn't of course.
The good weather brought a string of visitors, one after the other. Horny Nick in his modified MX5, Archie in his Golf, Mr Olds on his trike, Big Darren on his Kwacka, one of the local lowered guys, (didn't catch his name), in his old Beemer. And eventually Mr Loon. Great to see everyone, though obviously none of them had come to see me, but it meant very little got done. After weeks of rain & frost I was finally able to pull the tarpaulin off the Pop & open the doors to air it out a bit. I seem to be fighting a constant battle against surface rust at the moment. Parts are corroding quicker than I can paint them. Found the 2 bonnet supports, which were nickel plated last Summer, have rusted while they've been laying in the pick-up bed.
Various clips, hoses & cables fitted. Hoping for more sunshine to inspire me this week.

Get the engine running, that'll inspire you to get on and make it drivable  Plus it won't be a last minute rush . |

Sorry if we held you up Andy. It was too nice a day, not to go for a ride and as always, seem to end up calling at the workshop. Of course we come to see you. Has absolutely nothing to do, with having a hot cup of coffee on a cold day ! Honest  |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Got a few years yet till I can retire, but I'm looking forward to it!
Several errands to run this afternoon, collecting bits & dropping bits off, but should have the new stainless water pipe fitted tomorrow, to replace the rubber hose that bypasses the heater.
