Made some great progress on the Land Rover with some help. Got bits shotblasted, then galvanised, other parts just painted. Dragged it all down to Cornwall in the Volvo, one wing went via Hannah in the Mazda. Also visited the Great Dorset Steam Fair on the way down on the Thursday. then spent a few days building up the Land Rover.
Dave and I managed to locate the series 2 Land Rover that was lost to the beach in January of 1990. Dave saw it in the news and we went and found it.
We spent a weekend in Cornwall. No working on the land rover, just a social weekend of relaxing. We had a blowy walk on Godrevy with dad and visited my land rover, but only to look at it.
Took some pretty arty photo’s over the past week or more.
Dad and I visited Godrevy for a walk with Kizzy.
We saw a brass band play at the Minack Theater before Christmas, they played mainly carols etc.
In the Truro estuary there has been a large boat, which I think was lived on, as i had a gang plank. It is here:
The boat has toppled over now and I would imagine is not faring so well at high water.
I have finally gotten the bulk head done. At least there is nothing more that I want to do before galvanising. I have collected and prepared all of the parts that can be shot blasted and some of those will go for galvanising. I have now stripped the wings off the grill, as the front panel will go for galvanising. The wings will get a tidy up and some new aluminium inner wings and parts. I saw snow at my Auntie Jean’s in South Petherton when I visited.
I’ve not posted for a while, guess that not being able to access this blog editor at work is having an affect on my productivity both here and at work.
A couple or more week ends ago I spent the week at Al’s, with Dave working on the bulkhead, Dave and I got the remaining footwell welded in and also got a bunch of patches done.
Spent the weekend working in the bulkhead again. Also went to a trial, the leaf and coil club.
