As it was a bit wild weatherwise I gave my tools a good clean and changed my toolboard about a bit. Then I stripped down the hoover as it wasnt picking up too good.

Not much Larry, maybe 75 hours welding and fabrication since the New Year!

The bonnet was apart of today's output.

Just been changing the sump on my sons Fiat Punto. He must have clouted it in the snow and ice and it had developed a pinhole leak! Did look at putting a screw in the hole but the whole thing looked so rotten, it had to go!
Should be back to the Morris 8 once thats out of the way and now that the weather has warmed up a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a partial collapse of the 35' long shelter attached to the rear of my garage over the weekend, so some time was spent jacking up parts of the structure and fitting temporary props, leaving me to now ponder a replacement

Moved the welder and all the metalworking gear down into the garage where the A55 is stored, ready to start work on it again. That was yesterday. Today I've gone down with the flu so don't know when I'll be able to start the welding again, or indeed if I'll be able to make Southminster School on Friday. Will have to see how I'm feeling.

Tidied the mess I had left in the garage after I had finished building the toy garage for my daughter!!
Still need to tidy the bench though!!
I also stuck on the wall a picture I found of my great grandad and my grandad (paternal side) with a Thames truck they had in the 40's or 50's, have not dated the photo yet!!
I must remember to scan it and send it to Rick actually!!

The mga has been my focus in the garage these last few weekends. My workshop is in desperate need of a spring clean, if you have ever done a lot of bodywork and painting, you will be aware of the semi rigid dust that everything gets coated in

Did a bit of of tidying and sorting out tools, but it's still a mess.

Off the subject a bit. It's just struck me looking at the locations of frequent posters. I have only been to Scotland once, but I have visited Malta several times. Strange

As my garage has corrugated metal sheets for a roof I was out today giving the screws a bit of a hammer in but they were all ok. High winds outside now and its to get worse.

Yes Malta is exactly that place though not so dry, humidity is quite high over here!!
And I am not that much a frequent poster actually!!
Though I am trying to improve !!

I haven't been to Malta for a few years, but particularly if you have an interest in history it's a great place to visit. Lots to see and friendly people. It's a great pity from the tourists point of view they have got rid of the old buses.

I'm not having a good garage week. First the shelter attached to it partially collapsed, then today the wind was such that it blew the main doors out enough to break off the catch and blow a door into the back of the car parked outside. No significant damage to anything, but I'm looking forward to days with no snow, and no wind.

sounds bad Rick!!
but at least if no harm has been done to the car or anything at least you can put everything back together!!

V8nutter, I miss those buses too although I never used the service much!!
