Default progress?

While progress on the chassis has stalled due to many reasons, I decided to paint up the wishbones I purchased from Phil at Talonfabrications (think thats your new name?) in the £200 a set deal.
Being a bit tight and by no means a pro painter, I went with the good old brush on Hammerite (smooth finish) straight to metal. Took 2 coats, and will need a touch up here and there, but overall I am well pleased how the finish came out. Chassis will get the same treatment me thinks.
My lovely boss let me do them at the back of the warehouse during urm...break time? Got a few wandering looks as to what I was doing as the smells were interesting from the mixture of acetone, thinners and the paint.
Ordered my blue poly bushes from 3G, taking last minute (31st!!) advantage of the October no VAT offer, as was gonna buy from Saturn (sorry for that Andy £10 to spend on something else?) but am sure I will need something from Saturn soon.
I now have lots to get on with, so just need that time thing to do it in.
