Working by moonlight...
Spent most of the day having a BBQ with my wife's goddaughter and her boyfriend.
A great time had by all as it was nice and sunny all day.
I got permission to do a quick bit of grinding when they had headed home.
Although my wife did ask was it a good idea to use power tools after drinking all day.
Obviously the answer was probably not, but I did it anyway.
The moon was out when I started around 8pm.
But I did manage to grind & sand down most of the filler on both sides.
I stopped at 9pm as that is too anti-social to be using power tools outside at that time of night.
So there is a small bit of work still to do, but this is what the floors look like now.
Two years and counting...
- 13th April 2012 - I visited the Sammio factory in Poole & put my deposit down for Cordite kit No.7.
- 20th April 2012 - I bought my Spitfire 1500 donor car.
I gave up thinking about, or setting, deadlines to finish this project a long time ago.
However, passing anniversaries dates like these do make me stop and think a little bit.
My main focus at this point is still "just" getting the project to a working Moon Rover stage.
Well, it will be
working when the local Triumph specialist has sorted out the engine.
The good news is that both the weather and daylight should keep improving from now on.
I am also much better at welding and fabricating now, so that should come in handy too.
So let's see where another 12 months of chipping away will take me.
And if there is still work to be done in a year's time, then so be it.
Take care, Paul.
