Looking back it was plain to see that I wasn't going to get in the garage after work.  I am just so whacked out when I return from work that I haven't got the desire to get in there and amongst it, oh well.

So I was very much looking forward to this weekend when I could get on to the car.  I can't say I worked very hard but I did a fair bit and I loved it.  I loved every minute of it.  The shrouds match the wing tops now with a very small amount of filler and I started along the very rear of the shroud.  With the  boot lid closed the car has now got a fabulous shape.  I am hoping that I can get it in paint during the October half term so I have a deadline and a desire to meet it.

I am now away for the summer, Florida on another house swap, it is a good time of year to be a teacher.  It is also my birthday and I am hopeful that the next batch of parts I need will come my way, fingers crossed.  I need some parts for the windscreen brackets and some other bits like the cockpit trim for the front shroud so my fingers are crossed.

It has been five weeks since I last worked on the car and there was no signs of surface rust on the exposed sections of the wings so I decided that it was probably better not to rush the painting of the wings.  I now plan on priming the rear wings, boot, doors and shroud at the end of August when I next get to see the car.

Happy days.
