Sorted now @John @BCF has a spare and is sorting me out this week

There's not much to show for the last couple of weekends work as I've mainly been fettling fibreglass although yesterday was spent learning to weld. I haven't used a welder properly since I served my engineering apprenticeship back in 1995 and although I have used one now and again for the occasional small job I've never felt confident enough to tackle anything too difficult or safety critical so I signed myself up on a one day training course will Allied Welding in Benfleet so I'd be able to do a few more of the welding jobs on the JW4. For anyone thinking of learning I can thoroughly recommend their courses. https://www.alliedwelding.co.uk/product-category/welding-centre/?v=79cba1185463 Back to fettling the JW4 bodywork and the first job last weekend was to release the remaining body parts from the moulds. Its suprising how long this took with the 60+ nuts and bolts to split and then close the various parts of the moulds. Today Was mostly spent on the lower body and thus has been on and off the car more times than I care to remember with marking and cutting for the wishbones and to clear the chassis tubes but by lunchtime I was finally happy with the fit so gave it a final sand and polish then (hopefully) fitted it for the last time. Light was beginning to fade by early afternoon, just enough time to make a start on the upper body but I ran out of time before I could finish it properly and I had to leave the fitting around the roll hoop for another day.

Yes.. built as stables and hay store.. but going to have 230 horses in for now...

Not that I am desperate for some excitement (much) BUT Countryfile have just said that the weather is settling down for next weekend. Cold but settled - hot water bottles engaged. Plus, Michael has texted me today to say that he is bringing his GTO 288 replica too. £2 Million for the real thing apparently. In fact it's worth coming just to see that.

I’ve got a standard pair off a 2.0 silvertop.
