After a rubbish night I was out in the garage early.
Weather forecast was for a lot of rain, so I needed to beat that, and the chill.
So I carried on with the firewall plate I had made up yesterday, and the next planned job was to cut the holes in the firewall for the two side wiring looms to come through over the fenders.
Then Nick arrived.
Coffee, chat, planning and some gift exchanges.
He also forgot the sleeve and two parts of the Ford and Mazda steering shafts last week.
Plan is to turn them both down on the lathe to fit the tube, drill some holes to weld up after getting the total length right, followed by ensuring it all will work to,wrap,the steering up.
After KevFromWales failed to materialise by 01.00 this morning, he eventually made it to my place by 1.00pm
Kev and Nick hit it off and gassed for an hour before we loaded the MX5 onto Kev’s trailer.
A few mugs of tea, cookies and Kev was off on his return trip to Wales.
Once loaded the coal roller headed out.
Then Nick and I went back to work.
Loads left to do.
