Spanners day........
Lets get it sorted!
I am taking a week off work mid march to have an epic push on some of the skoda stuff. The weekend after I would love a few hands to get some stuff done.
I think Megsy mentioned a mincing setion at his, and Colon needs to help tidying up his barn.
I recon there are three weekends set right there at some point.

I'd probably be up for a bit of spannering on a weekend. Let me know if there's any tools anyone needs, I've got an engine hoist, couple of sets of axle stands, trolley jack and various other bits and pieces. Here - have some pictures of people holding big spanners: ;D

Well my plan is in flux at the moment. I am off to Beirut on business on the 7th and will be back on the 11th march.
I was going to take the week after off, but can't now because I need to write the report from the site visit.
So current plan is to take w/c 22nd march off so a spanners day on the 27/28th is my current idea.

Plus... I think if you are all up for it, I have been chatting with mike about making something cool and powered with a 10hp sit on mower engine that I have snagged.
If we all chipped in ideas, skills and a couple of quid we might be able to make something epic!
Any ideas?

Haha I dare you man I dare you! "Hey what are YOU guys doing here??" haha! heres a link to my barn thread retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=othrmod&thread=64438&page=1A lot I can crack on with myself, but a lot would be much quicker with extra hands Spoken to the landlord, and he is happy for max of 3 cars to be parked up and for us to work so thats good. Just need to sort a date. If anyones bored Ill be up there on my lonesome this weekend (6th and 7th) although I have a nagging feeling I'm supposed to be somewhere else........

BTW spanners day at mine is posponed, unless you are all on your way over right now (somehow doubt that!)
Basically I did all the required work this week And I am now waiting on an engine.
Once I have the engine though I will need a hand as this gearbox/suspension setup need the engine fixing to the box before installing in the car.... makes it heavy and a bit hard to move around.
