Guy`s, time for an update of sorts. With the announcement last Tuesday that we were going into lock down in 48 hours, I made sure that I had supplies for home as far as I could. On the Wednesday I thought that I should go and try for some hi build undercoat and fortunately the paint shop was open having had a record previous days trade. Well after a couple of days settling into lock down, I set up for undercoat and managed to get a good coat on the raw fibre glass using Duratec Hi Build.
Playing with other bits I realize that I have no radiator hoses nor a fuel tank cap. I managed to create one for the sum of 10cents.
I was walking up the road for my exercise when I came across a water works truck doing a mains water leak...his truck door was open displaying all his spare brass fittings.....so I asked him if I could `borrow` a couple. So down to the shed and onto the lathe, and now you can see the results, total cost, the 10c coin filling the hole. Necessity is the mother of invention.....Now to find some 1 1/4 hose.
Meanwhile its just slowly do a little bit daily to keep the brain going, got to keep some positivity going.
