This month, I have been mostly undoing the stuff a previous owner did to my old car ...

  • Removing the solid prop shaft, refitting the reverse box and spilt prop shafts
  • Re-wiring the alarm LED
  • Making a center console with a USB charger and phone cubby hole
  • Wiring the fuel pump up
  • Stripping out the kinked suction fuel hose, new fuel pump
  • Stripping out a fuel cutoff switch and second starter switch
  • Moving the indicator switch from the old canter console to the dash
  • Powder coating the chrome windcreen wipers and headlamps black

After the extention was finished last year and we decided to not proceed with the loft in the bad weather(kicking myself now due to covid). I promised Mrs W that i would do something with the garden so she didnt have to use make shift block stairs to get into the wild garden. well stage 1 nearly finished the deck.

 

Hand rail and deck wall to go in hopefully this weekend once the stuff arrives, but happy so far.

Looking good. Personally find “garden carpentry” very satisfying, provided the weather is favourable.

Yes very happy with results so far. Although my next wood order hasn't arrived so I will have a beer in the sun while we enjoy what we have done so far.

Cleaning some of the collection! Westy not at home and the Camaro only ever gets a polish. 
 

I think the Mini’s days might be numbered and going up for sale.

@Robin (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Snap on the jigsaw puzzle front - just finished this one:

which is not the image on the puzzle itself.  This is what the scene looked like 50 years ago, and completed puzzle is what the scene looks like today:
