Smile Counting the days

No time for my build since last week .... Working my way through a list of other things that needed doing

Last Saturday was a nice little trip up to Exeter show, had a grand day out indeed

Knowing I needed the workshop to make a start on the MOT work on my Jeep Monday, I had a very quick tidy up on Sunday & made a start on an aux fuel tank I had been asked to fabricate for a motor X bike

Here's the completed tank.



Not the nicest thing I have ever produced but I had a very tough brief for this little job .... Must cost very little ( Cheap ) & use whatever materials I had kicking about.

I would have loved to make it in alloy to replicate the pattern given to me .... Unfortunately, out of the budget range for this particular jobby.
Guess it didn't turn out too bad in view of the limited materials available !!??

Jeep went through it's re-test this morning so that's that job out of the way until next year.

This afternoon saw my eldest's tatty Escort van enter the workshop for MOT work, I ain't kidding, it's a minger !!
Told him last year that was the last MOT for it but here we are once again !!??
All of my favourite jobs to do ( NOT ) Spring hangers to weld, lower wishbone & CV boot to change .... Rest of the job's are quickies.

That will definately be the last MOT job I do until next autumn.

As per title, counting the days down so as I can get back to work on the Roadster .... I have a strong urge to get the engine up & running real soon
