Praise where it’s due

[Gary Taylor]

So hoping to beat any travel restrictions plus the fact I was alone, I had arranged to collect the new project so food and drinks with me I collected my new project and an engine/ box.

Alas on the way home a puncture on the trailer wrecked the wheel and hub , so on the side of the road I called Autoaid ( it’s me who’s covered so doesn’t matter if it’s the Audi or the westy) in 55 minutes they had the trailer on the truck and delivered to the house in remote Scotland an hour after I was home.

So a big thanks to all involved at Autoaid. And I can’t fault their service 

BUT now I’ve a new project and can’t get to the garage, time to order some carbon bits 😃

Stay safe everyone

Phew that could of been awkward if they hadn't recovered it home!  Always good to order Carbon, therapeutic too, though I expect the Carbon Wizards are being inundated with like minded 'isolated' types... 

 

Any clues as to what the new 'Project' is....it needs a NAME!

on the basis my white ones called “tommy” after dad it’s quite apt that this one especially after this auspicious start should be after mum, sooooo simply MBT mums initials but also a family joke of “more b......... trouble”

lol

And to begin with some black bodywork from Germany 😃

That has got to be the understatement of the century....is it woven black by any chance...

None of this can have happened without pictures...................

[Gary Taylor]

Pictures will follow but not a lot to show other than very little room in the garage lol

[Gary Taylor]

Ok a couple of teasers, when I got home and some black bodywork.....

obviously once I can get into the garage there will be some tunnel mouth mods to take the Mazda box, then replace some of the aluminium with carbon

ordered some nice deep dish 13” rims too, they didn’t do them in gold so once they’re here and I can get out they’ll be off to get sorted

lol

that’s about it for now, but there are a few things in my head (and that’s a dangerous place) but they’ll wait until I get started proper
