My mum came from Ayr.
If I wasn’t flat out here I’d go and get it for you, but Sarah would skin me alive if I took time out to “play”.
To be honest, Shiply is a good start. There’s a bloke who gets good reviews on Vzi for moving stuff, Phil Unsworth; might be worth contacting him.
Ideally, to move something like that you’d hire a transporter, but they seem to be hard to get lately. I moved a Land-Rover for a friend earlier this year and I ended up hiring a trailer to do it as there just wasn’t anything else available.

My worst worry about dying is my wife selling my stuff for what I told her it cost...

Alternately, if a Shipley offer came in at £300.00 it would be a deal.

So today craigrk came over to pick up a toolbox, and I managed to help him take some more stuff to clear my space up. He also inspected the wasp battlefield; Compressor room is almost ready, and then this big boy can move over. Made in 1973 From this......

Not a lot of progress on finding a transporter to get the Eagle from Ayr in Scotland to Rochester today though. Hopefully Shipley comes up with something

I can work in it, and do. Including my power lead and tools, but pouring and puddling stops it a bit. Door fills hole correctly though. Skipped last week and yesterday’s bootfairs Today was slim picking too. Cars 20p each Not sure why I got this. Total haul. Best was 3 waterproof light switches for new carport £2.00 for three. Star Wars mug New 50p Unicorn for craigrk daughter £1.00 E-plate for Craig £1.00 Toys £1.00 Off to Whitstable for the day.

Went to my first Car Boot Sale of the year yesterday, hopeless! All cheap BMXs, curse word plastic toys and Ukeleles! Don’t think I’ll bother again until next year. 😂

But what about the triangular door mate? I can live with that ... just ! Just is more than enough. In many cases. I would go in a beaver tail if I could hire one. Alternately, if a Shipley offer came in at £300.00 it would be a deal. These people have been used by friends & seem good, reliable etc. www.transporterhire.co.ukThank you for that, really helps that we are all playing at this together. Got a message from my mate Fil (Italian for Phil) and seems he and his missus want to head to Scotland. May be a result, though no road trip in that. Went to my first Car Boot Sale of the year yesterday, hopeless! All cheap BMXs, curse word plastic toys and Ukeleles! Don’t think I’ll bother again until next year. 😂 I see your smiley, but would still caution you...... Sometimes this can change in an instant. After a couple of strike outs, I got that £119.00 balance bike, like new, for Sally, for £2.00 before. And this weekend three waterproof switches for £2.00 made it worthwhile in an ocean of PINK sh!te and rusty tools from a shed clearance. Keep the Faith.

Last night mate Scott jabbo popped around and dropped off a nice tool to help further tidy up my garage, He had contacted me last week to say that it had become surplus to his needs, was I interested in it for free. Of course I was, mainly because I actually do need it. Now I can split my tools into Metric, in the SnapOn trolley bought last year and the weird stuff in this one. Perfect. In other news, Bill in Scotland, through one of his searches, may have found someone who has a Mk2 Capri rear light lens to sell me for the Rezin Rockit as one is missing. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/215488/grizz-purgatory-plastic-rezin-rockitUnfortunately they are not universal, having a wedge shape, and the reverse at the bottom. Let’s see if the guy has one. EDIT: Nope....... Not anymore. Anyone for a lens to sell or trade? Still....... The adventure is unfolding.

If your going custom on the plastic pony, then I'd be tempted to look at something more readily available and replace both.

Not having to fill holes or make blanking plates. PS. I like these modern coach LED lights, but prefer to keep it simple, and just replacing one lens.

You replied before I could find something lol Great finds Joe, At that pricing, the new replacements become the right choice. The Rezin Rockit is coming together.

Regarding the carport build.......
Message from steel guy.
Hi Rian, The steels have been delivered today so will try to do final Survey this week then attend site next week to install....... weather permitting!! Kind Regards Wayne
Woohooo. Sounds great. I have a two day online work conference Tuesday and Wednesday Also awaiting delivery of what has been named the Rezin Rockit which has no engine or gearbox from Glasgow. Just need to ensure you have all you need onsite and nothing is in the way of your team working.

Galaxy worked again. Used windows going up to a farm in Derbyshire with mate Fil for a shed build when he heads up to fetch the Rezin Rockit in Glasgow. Complete doors with keys, frames etc, all for free Works for me. I robbed the letter box slots off two of them, for my own house door, and the door on the compressor room which looks pretty nasty Plus a smallish section of polycarbonate roofing for a small application on the carport over the compressor room Job done. Despite missing Prozac, this van certainly can.,
