Grizz’s Purgatory, Rezin Rockit 🚀 SUMMERTIME FUN 18/09/23

sounds like a good plan

Woken up at Stupid - 0 - Clock

Joined by George who wanted breakfast.



Got going with the dash.

Switches fitted.





Not perfect, but good enough.





While I was busy, nickwheeler crept up on me……

Bringing me a brilliant surprise, well, two really.

A GoPro equivalent camera, and a good tripod for it.

That probably means I will have to learn to edit on my laptop for the YouTube channel as I have done everything on the phone up to now.

Lots to learn I guess.



So we finished the dash and I managed to grow that proverbial third hand.

Happy with it.

Next step will be a few test runs up on the farm, and then book an MOT for the Rezin Rockit and keep fingers crossed.

Closed shop early and went to Sallys for dinner and relaxation.

I seem to have sprung an unpleasant chest infection this week.

Grand work bud! Turned out just fine and looking forward to the MOT pass

That is looking really nice!

So 16 months ago, this is what was delivered onto my driveway in week 2 of September 2021

Time has flown I guess.

So late afternoon yesterday after getting back from shops and various jobs, Sally and I were able to start on looking at, and cleaning the Piggy.

She continues to surprise me, this girl, getting straight in and on with the job of cleaning up. Sally that is.

By the time I came out the house after doing some work stuff that needed to be dealt with, this is what I found.

Sally had unpacked everything of value.

Dubious as it may be, some parts were still useable, even if just as templates.



And the back of it looking like this



Good help is really hard to find.

So my helper hates a photo, no matter why.

Still, I fooled her.



The plywood dash and its vinyl, along with the once expensive instruments were well beyond salvageable.

Previously identified as Cortina Crusader.



So things were removed, fibreglass trimmed back to a point where I could restart and add the MX5 parts, but also reduce the amount of useless clutter.

Much cleaning and clearing later, it looked like this. The bits left in place were to act as cutting templates later.





Yesterday I managed to almost go full circle.

Creating this look……..




And ending up here.



So…..

Today….. I am doing nothing, this chest infection is making me feel a bit rubbish.

YouTube and Netflix it is then.

Grizz

fantastic progress

i’m sure i asked before or someone did

the netting doors .. did you ever get those sorted ?


sorry to hear about the chest infection

i sure the young lady that posted on here yesterday would have been happy to pop round to rub something on your chest :-)

Thanks mate, very glad it is in.

The netting doors are on standby, I need more thinking around them and fastening.

They are not “doors”, and serve about as much purpose as an air freshener, but they should look good once I. Are them up and attach them to the hinges.

Chest infection sucks, it stops me sleeping, hurts my head, chest and body, possibly a viral thing picked up after spending 3 days in a room with qtr-200 people.

As for the pornographer who posted those pictures yesterday, I am shocked it stayed up so long as some of my comments are censored faster than that.

As this will surely be.

I wanted to send her a PM, then realised she may be sitting with a massive erection train set.

There is a cutoff line for all of us, and I was actually not impressed that someone (certainly male) created a profile in spite and posted on here.

It just upsets the yard masters and creates animosity and vigilance, neither of which I care for.

I did wonder.

Please make sure that you do as little as possible and rest up. It knocked me for 6.

Like a few others I was hoping & praying it wasn't Covid

so it's plenty of rest & some online car related "window shopping"



well done "team grizz" on getting the dash fitted this weekend especially with you feeling so rubbish

but

do I start calling you guys team "Billy Whizz" now you are movie stars


Get well soon mate




oh BTW, I did originally write "Billy Grizz Whizz" but it didn't sound too good so just stuck with Billy Whizz
