Thanx Brodie,
On the final stretch......... the project has now been moved into a 10' x 6' shed along with all my tools and spares etc. Talk about putting a quart in a pint pot !
I will be moving in with my girlfriend at Christmas and the final odd parts to be made will start and after the frame has been finally prepped- paint applied [ Celeste Blue ] the final assembly can begin.
YES, it's taken far too long - but in the interim there's been a toxic [ expensive ] divorce and various serious health issues - resolved for the time being.
Life begins at 80 !!!!!!
