Wow, it has been over a month.  I did go to the classic car show in the Birmingham NEC and had a lovely, though very damp time.  I had intended to drive the regular run around but when I went to leave I noticed that the front tyre was flat.  So flat in fact that it would not trigger the pump in the garage so I brought it back home.  I could have pumped it up at home but decided that if it gets that flat I probably should get in replaced rather than contemplate a 250 mile round trip.  So even though it was absolutely lashing it down with rain I took the Triumph.  I discovered within 10 miles that my waterproof clothing wasn't actually waterproof.  It was awful.  Anyway, once there I had  lovely time.

I have found a mobile welder that will do the shrouds for £300 plus a bonus for working at a weekend.  This is troubling me a little as I can buy an AC TIG machine from China for £400 and then get the gas for another £100.  I realise that this is more but I would then have the equipment for life.  I have posted the question on a UK welding forum and the responses leave me feeling very demotivated. The people that say I should get the professional to do it outnumber the 'have a go yourself' brigade by some margin.

Talking of demotivated I looked at the car again this morning and knew that I needed to finish the door gaps, again.  So I removed the rear wing and B post before cleaning it up:

I then took to the rear edge off the front wing with a grinder and literally ground the wing back to provide a better level of gap.  I spent a few happy hours welding and grinding before repeating it again, and again.
