If I told you what has happened to my cars over the years you would no doubt laugh.

Spoke to him after you had left on Sunday and today, the bar is waiting for me. He admitted to knowing it was still on the engine. Bloody plonker!!

Wench :rofl Still doesn't stop that initial wake up.

I may take my laptop with me next week when the welder starts, maybe he could use this site for reference :idea:

Will do Jim, hoping to start Thursday if the weathers OK.

Got the welder coming tomorrow, hoping the weather holds out or I may try to rig up a temporary shelter with my 10m x 10m tarp.

Will get some pics during and after if it goes a head.

Hi Mike, no :( was far too windy. You wanted to see me and 2 of my mates trying to make a temporary shelter for incase it rained with a 10m x 10m tarp.
I swear if we would have took a run up we could have took off.

Coming again on Wednesday so fingers crossed. My plan is to get a 6m x 3m marquee/tent/carport. After all, the welding work is only the start.

Can't bloody wait to get started :D
