Yes there's some horrible wobbles around the back of the cab. No, I don't care.  |

Yeah, the yellow spray filler's a bit like that. Like spray-on custard.
The top of the cab back's a Morris Minor panel & was pretty wobbly to start with. In daylight it looks O.K, but shining a light across it creates shadows that show up all the wibbly wobbly bits. I can live with it.

My day off today, so spent an hour or 2 at the garage this morning, but it was so cold I couldn't feel my finger tips after a while so didn't do an awful lot.
Rubbed the roof over with some 600 grit wet n dry. Doesn't look too bad at all in daylight. A slight kink in the swageline, (to the left of the "M"), but again, I can live with it & once the fuel tank &/or pick-up bed's back on it'll hide most of it.
Still more to do around the door edges & sills, but it's too cold to stay there for long. Supposed to be getting milder in the next few days, so hopefully I can get a bit more done over the weekend.

I keep thinking it's getting nowhere fast & hasn't changed at all, but then I look back at photos of it in 2013 when it was first on the road & it's changed a hell of a lot -hopefully for the better.

It had blonde paint -will that do? Grey & wet & miserable here -& that's just me -so no garaging for me this afternoon. Just received notice of the automatic renewal of the Pop insurance with Adrian Flux though. £168.23, fully comp' including 35 quid renewal charge. Didn't think that was too bad for a home built 3 1/2 litre V8. It's less than I pay for my little 1.3 Ford KA daily driver. |

That's because they know you don't put many miles on it between garages Andy.. |

Estimated annual mileage for the insurance was 5,000. I covered 4 1/2 thousand in the first year -& probably 5 miles in the last 3 years or so just pushing it in & out of the garage.

Still faffing about with filler/primer. It's not wet in the garage, but definitely damp in the air, so picking my days to spray in there.
Rolled it outside yesterday to turn it around. As soon as I got it outside it poured with rain while I was struggling to push it through a 26 point turn in the yard to get it back inside. Can't wait for some warmer weather.
