Been there after work this evening. Still trying to paint the back axle. Still getting wrinkles in the paint where it's reacting with something underneath & now it's "bloomed" in the cold as well. Probably no progress to see since you were last there, but you're always welcome

I don't live there -but it does feel like it sometimes! Which garage did you go to Clive? I think you last visited when I still had my bike. I don't rent that garage any more. I have 2 in South Ham, Basingstoke, behind a row of shops & a pub. Marcus has also changed workshops since you came over & stencilled the doors on the Pop. I ought to be in the garage now, but after weeks of deliverng everyone else's Christmases, I'm having a non garage day today!

That's the one My brother sent me a photo of him saat outside the garage at lunchtime today. I was at work till 3.30 -why does everyone expect me to be there?! Just got back from there. The new heater's arrived, but I haven't got a gas bottle for it yet, so I'll have to make do with looking at the picture on the box

Doesn't really show here, but the raised centre of the axle diff casing has "bloomed" in the cold, (gone milky white). There's also still a couple of areas that are reacting, but it's almost there.

The white spots are just dust from unpacking the new heater

Soon my pretty. Soon. I'm aiming for the Dutch hotrod show in April, but that means it all needs to be finished, MOT'd, taxed & running reliably by the end of March. I really can't see it happening, but even if it doesn't, I still want to be driving it in the Spring, (2020 is going to be a getting out & about & enjoying life a bit more kind of year I've decided), so I need to crack on with it over the Winter. I saw Lunatic yesterday -if the Pop's not ready for the trip, I'll jump in his Chevy sedan with him.

Oh tha's bad, that's really bad *shakes head* - it means you've got a backup plan so now it's not as urgent to finish the Pop!

Bobbi, I still want to drive it in the Spring & although the show's cool to wander around, it's the road trip -the adventure of getting there in my own hotrod that I enjoy. Archie, I do need to turn the Pop around once the axle's in, but the engine's precariously balanced on one mounting bolt at the moment cos I need to paint the front chassis legs & there's no wiring!
