So whats been happening.

Daniel from A Sitch In Time came around today and installed my roof lining...
We can install the front and rear windows tomorrow also with scuff plates and other stuff.
Monday booked to have the exchust installed and a blue slip...
If it passes it's off for a wheel alinement and hopefully Gray Pride the following Sunday..
'Fingers Crossed".....

I chose plastic instead of board for the door cards. Never rot.

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer
