Chuffed to bits!
May I say Albert ....

Your Roadster is looking mighty fine indeed .


My apologies for being scarce on the forum in the last couple of weeks ,
(note to myself ......"need to give an hour or 2 to myself per day " )

cheers

Now that I have stopped acting like a complete prick and throwing my toys around (sorry every body and Nathan) I guess I will start posting again.
I've been a little pre occupied of late with problems both in the workshop and at home and have not had much need to say any thing on here.
Five weeks ago my 14 yr boy was rushed in to hospital for 3 weeks and lost 99% of his vocabulary for 4 days due to having Encephalitis (google it I dare you!) What with the cost of fuel and the time it takes to get there, the hospital being 30 miles away,going there twice a day and not putting many parts out of the door it has cleaned me out.
Sorry for those who have had to wait for parts but I have just not had the money to buy materials/stock to produce parts let alone the postage to get it to you.
I have had to face facts and that I can't keep Talon running as a full time business with it's current lack of trade, so I have sat and filled out my CV joined all the job sites that I can find to find a part time job. Problem is that I need it to fit in around time spent in the workshop and looking after home ect. If it comes to it then the shop will have to go and the contents of which will be sold off to try and recoup some of my losses.

You'll have some business from me Phil, if and when you're ready though. I'm in no hurry, the money's not going anywhere

Just trying to justify finding IVA fee at the moment, given our awful summer weather! Also been a bit pre-occupied with our new purchase. Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but the culmination of 20 years of idle dreaming between me and my wife!



Still hoping to be IVA'd by the end of the year!

My god thats clean!! Not many about in that condition.

This weekend, I have mostly been in the loft boarding (part of) it out and then moving all the left over boxes from the house move out of my garage and into the loft.

I then went and bought some racking and have almost cleared enough space to start building a build table.

All I need to do then is learn to weld!!

Being the otherside of the world from my dearly beloved roadster, breaks my heart that I haven't worked on her since Feb last year.
Not really sure what to do with her, because it looks like I might be staying over here for the forseeable future...
For the roadster
For Australia!

Best one yet. Where are you? 9500 miles away You would have trouble getting much further than that from your project.
