Shall I set up the Tribute Automotive Owners Club Military Wing?

There seems to be more than we think out there WCA!

Does anybody dee a kit for a Stolly? Complete with controllable back fire to shit up the box heads and Rolls Royce engine?

Well, today was bright and sunny, and I had fallen behind with log storage.
Luckily, and friend of mine rang up to tell me a small tree had been blown down in his garden. Just what I wanted to hear!
I took my chainsaw round and had it in logs in no time, it was the best exercise I had since leaving hospital. It was very satisfying, and I feel great.
I did not think to take pictures so you will just have to use your imaginations!!

Did it look something like this?

Bloody hell Paul!!

That gave me a really good laugh! Well done.

I would like to think it looked like that, but reality probably was a bit more mundane as it usually is!

Scottie does mundane wood stacking

XKSS windscreen



I have re-started to work on the Morris Minor rear window and frame which will be turned into the XKSS windscreen.

I have been both looking forward to, and dreading this bit.

What I am about to attempt (in my view) IS do-able, but only just.

The measurement are very critical, and there is no room for error, hence my apprehension.

I HAVE to get this right first time, and having not done it before does not help much!

The blind leading the blind in the dark! (Least that is what it feels like)

It WILL turn out right, but I have to really get stuck into it.

Here are some new pictures of where I'm at:

I assume the pink handle is connected to the rake?

In this particular case, the noun rake, ( not actually an agricultural implement in this example) taken from the adjective "raked" meaning "to incline from the horizontal" or in this case the vertical, as in "raked masts" or if you will, "raked windscreens"
The pink handle you refer to is merely a simple prop in order to set and adjust the rake angle.
I trust this clarifies your wrongful assumption.

It's going to be epic Scottie. You're a brave soul!

Ah dee me best Ringo!

Is it a fixed or variable pitch prop?

Don't you start! :-)

Is it really possible to have a variable pitch clothes line prop? Geoff.

You may need to weld that multi adjustable vernier extending mop handle in place to help you get in and out.

If I don't finish the build soon. I'm gonna need a bloody crane to get in and out I think!

Have you been living off takeaways like?

Divent be daft man!

Screen saga

I spent more time trying to work out how to make the Moggie screen fit my car.

As usual more butchery was involved, and more will be needed I think.

I still have not done any more welding, as I need to know what needs welding to what, and that is proving very complexly difficult.
However, it is only a matter of time and it will come together.
Here are more pictures showing the slow, but definite progress:

I would have moved the screen with its frame further back and would have done the changes in the center of the bonnet i.e. closing the gap between bonnet and windscreen frame ;-)

Now you tell me! :-)

Scottie - I know this is a key part of the build for you, so I hope you can sort it all out.

Obviously I have absolutely no idea what to suggest.

So I'll just wish you good luck instead, Paul.

Thanks Paul,

now there's two of us with no idea at all!!

Nah! It'll come right in the end!
