Thanks Bill.,
I am not sure.
But hopefully they will be happy with whatever I created here.
It is not Germany where the TüV can be draconian and problematic.
Busy day here for work, so nothing done till after 5.00pm
And even that was negligible.
But I started by priming the roll bar and diagonal as polishing it failed to impress, old age left some pitting, chrome flaked off, and of course where I cut, ground and welded there was damage too.
Not sure the primer will stick ultimately, but I hope so, and then some paint, temporary in nature again, as I plan on having the whole thing covered in high density “roll bar foam” and some nylon sheathing.
Still need to investigate how and where to get that done.
Still very pleased with the outcome here, thanks to @pauly ‘s generous offer and vision.
After work, around 6.30pm a Nissan Cube reversed up my drive…….
@paulf had come to check out progress on the RR
AND DELIVER HIS HYDRAULIC PRESS FOR THE BUSHES.
I had previously used it to push the bushes on the Chevy Blazer that was never a project.
Massively useful tool too.
After a lot of chat, opinions and advice, he headed home to his family.
I closed shop and came in before the mosquitoes carried me off to a dark place to suck me dry.
Tonight is an early night as I will need to be up at 04.45 to get out and head over to @craigrk and a quick 250 mile x2 trip to deliver Ouma Lil his Chevy to is new home……..
She is a big girl.
As always, it should be a good day out.
PS: it has to be Rum-0-Clock
Later.
