I'm absolutely not jealous at all. Oh no.

Give my regards to the homeland will ya, and support your local distilleries.

I gave up hoping the weather would improve , too soft to do the exhaust @ freezing temps .


So spent the morning watching grandsons footy match , designed a brake pipe straightener for the 3d printer , and finding out why my old pipe flaring kit was a bit naff .



A but of fiddling and filing a bit off and its now doing a good job, only taken me 25 years to sort out


hopfully a bit warmer tomorrow

Renewed both rear light cluster seals, both were in a poor state, torn, and leaking at the bottom, hopefully that should help to stop water getting into the boot luckily when i bought new seals, i decided to get a pair, its just as well as both were not reusable

Sprayed the recently welded offside sill with stonechip and satin black paint. Looks fantastic if I do say so myself. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Unfortunately my appointment today with Lates600 for the various mechanical tasks had to be cancelled at short notice due to illness. I just don't know what to do now as the repairs really can't wait any longer.

Drove it down to the south coast to check in on my parents, a couple of my brothers and tomorrow, my best mate from school days. Performed impeccably so far.
