Due to the lack of numbers and the fact that I have got tonnes to do as well and could really do with the weekend to get stuff sorted, I think it might be a plan to take a raincheck on this for now...
Maybe rearrange it for later in the year when everyone hasnt got so much on....
.....always a problem this time of year with the dark evenings, cos everything has to be done at weekends... :(

I might be up the workshop pete if you fancy bringing your car up to work on it....fingers crossed Badboy will still be up for meeting me somewhere in kent with the caravan so I can crack on with getting that done. 8) 8) 8)

Watcha Greg - Could be a plan - Sue's away for that weekend - so next weekend is my time, hence me wanting to crack on with some jobs on the motor. Talk to you later in the week and see how things pan out.

evenin' all...

greg and pete, if your workshopping on saturday, let me know and if your there in the afternoon - 2:30 onwards i might pop down.

also greg, if i do and i can get some plate any chance you could use your welding skills on my truck?
i was doing some pocking around and treating some rust on the bumper and what i'd hoped was surface rust on the offside sill (just where yours is pete) i've got a luvly hole! gaffa tape holding up nicely at the mo' but even i cant leave it like that...

no problem if you cant, i'll drop in to lend a hand on whatever your doing,

let me know, cheers!

Hmm, you've been nobbling my ideas there bud, hehe :butt:
Seriously though, probably not a bad call to swap the sills for box section - will be doing mine at some point too.

If there's a gathering at the workshop, I'll come too if that's alright?? Lara needs some TLC before the weekender, and it's always mroe fun in company.

Aye, has been rained off, and declared a"fettling weekend" instead, I think.
Not a bad idea, given proximity of the weekender.

Hope thy car is alright Pate,
