Nah, I've put her bed in the back corner.

terence · 23 Mar 2012, 06:25 (Ref:3046950)

Plenty of straw and a bucket I hope?

It's a gorgeous day here in glorious Wiltshire, makes you glad to be alive. So glorious that I'm switching on the voicemail and if anyone wants me I'll be in the garden underneath the Winter Project :-)

So nearly ready for the 360, yet s-o-o-o far away.

a quick spring project . . . clened up and restored my Le Cruesuet frying pan yesterday . . . new handle fitted, now back to flame orange in colour and still going strong at the ripe old age of 32.

Ah, I see now how you high achievers manage to complete so many "projects". In my house we call that "washing up"

zefarelly · 25 Mar 2012, 16:13 (Ref:3048115)

I've been using it with no handle for over ten years!

have taken posession of another lock up this weekend, sorted door and locks, moved all scooters and bikes into it, then used the space to strip and re-prep the front valance on the crustina, I had no idea it was 1/4" thick with filler, god knows why, so I sanded it all off . . . primed, ready to flat off in the morning and a fresh coat of Bermuda blue. time for a cool beer in the sun now me thinks

Hey Joe,hang on a minuit was that not a Jimmy Hendrix tune. Any way Joe what is a Li 150 worth. All in bits the guy wants me to make him an offer.???

Isnt it time to close the "winter project thread" now and actually go racing ?

Rudolf

zefarelly · 29 Mar 2012, 22:37 (Ref:3050654)

Rudolph : yes

Iain : series 1-2 or slimstyle series 3? generally start at 3-500, and assuming its a real Italian one and all there, without significant tin worm its worth up to a grand as a project.

but should be on the grid at Silverstone...

midgetman · 30 Mar 2012, 06:09 (Ref:3050710)

Rudernst, I have a slightly later season start date than you so my car is scheduled to be finished 7th May. What's that? The 360 is 6th? Houston, we have a problem!

Colin McKay · 30 Mar 2012, 21:36 (Ref:3051032)

Talking of spring projects, finally picked the E-type shell up from the paintshop today. Qualifying in 5 weeks' time......

Robyn Slater · 31 Mar 2012, 07:40 (Ref:3051130)

Think you might have to adjust the ride height a tad Colin.

Rolled the Porsche out yesterday having now completed the numerous upgrades and lightening over the winter. More original lightweight luggage trays, wider inner arches, rear framing, lights, tow straps, engine cover, filler caps, etc. Anything to try to redress the extra weight of the blasted silencers and my extra winter bulk !!!!!!!
The engine started first time and i am booked in for the rolling road to fine tune next Tuesday. Nick Fulljames has certainly done a fine rebuild on it following the disaster of the 360 meeting last year, and i just hope i can still pedal it along OK.

Oh, the dog. I,ve told him if he nicks anything else out of the workshop when my back is turned he is going to be taken round as spare silencer packing !!

He sure does not look very happy.If you fancy a run down to Henley on Thames June 3rd we sure would love to have the Porsche on display with your dog as well.

And it looks like four wheel steer, mind you I would be careful of kerb hopping with that setup

Delta,

i would have liked that very much and you could have had a drive in her, but of all the days that your show is on it clashes with a huge family reunion (250+) that has been organised for a long time.

Guess though where i would sooner be ??

delta · 2 Apr 2012, 05:56 (Ref:3052076)

OK thanks. I will give you plenty of notice for 2013.

midgetman · 2 Apr 2012, 19:17 (Ref:3052456)

I had the Winter Project out at Donington today, nice to see Grant who gave us all moral support.

Grant, when I got back I jumped in and drove it off the trailer - clearly only one solution

IT'S THE COIL!!!!!

Nope its never the coil

I've got a 21 year old who is living proof that sometimes it is the coil
