busy weekend..

Blimey what a busy weekend.
Started off with a little trip down to Taunton to help a friend move his two MG's from the farm to his nice new double bay garage. Traffic by Stonehenge was the usual insanity.
Then scream back with the trailer empty. Home and relax.
Sunday was Waxoly the Defender now it has had the new rear cross member welded in place. Thanks to Chris.
I always get covered when waxolying to went in fully boiler suited and head cover, gloves. Did a real nice job and got it all over the chassis and into the chassis rails. Pleased with myself.
Decided to attack the MGB afterwards and pulled a bolt out of the roll cage to get the tube in which worked really well up until it sprayed out all over the drive! D'oh!
Clean up time.........again.
So just got the spare wheel carier to fit to the bonnet and the truck is ready for the Sahara trip. But got many shack down trips to do before hand.
More to come.
