yesterday - took the o/s door off to replace a pin. that required lots of heat and lots of hammer. that and i cut out some rust on the o/s/r sill/arch. today - put the door back on. welded up a patch (had to cut up a opel kadett sill, did some grinding, added some more filler, and possibly finished the h/brake, though thats been neglected for so long its probabally sized at the calipeers! I'm sure i must have done something else as i finished after the 10'o'clock news had started.

keep at it. Mines gone back to that "not touched it in a while" stage. Out for a meal tonight but tomorrow evening I'll be back on it and then the b/h w/e should give me a day and a half or so on it. Eeee, when I were a lad, I'd have had all 4 b/h days to work on it. Damn getting married eh?

Haha! That must be one of the most irritating things to happen when working on a car, ever. When my stupid lead light gets all tempremental and goes on and off when it feels like it, I feel like stomping it into a fine paste Good progress though! I do like how everyones getting busy with their projects, massively boosts retro rides morale! ;D

I get the feeling that every lead light ever made 'plays up'!

Lead Lights! The most irritating creation on the planet. I think we should have a mass cull of them, pile 'em up in the street and torch the bastrad lot... ...glad to see the Capper making progress! Good work that man.
