Its been a bit of a drag......but hopefully once he gets going and realises he gets part paid when body work done especially before Xmas, might make a difference

The guy doing the bodywork had a few delays already built into his schedule since last July, between going back to Hungary and a new baby now out of the way, hes gotten around to spending a few hours on the B12.

Firstly he felt he had to redo the previous body guy's work, which then took longer to do than he thought, plus correct and fettle other panels.

Now hes over the 2/3s point hes gotten a degree of momentum and feels in a few weeks will have it ready for prepping to paint.

Relief all around!

Likewise Frank, to be sure, a break away from a long standing project can rekindle the flame that first ignited it , my masser pilot light still burns bright as ever , and by **** or high water 2016 should see me back in the fold with something Italian , exciting and 8 cylinders , Ticking boxes on my lifes to do list in Senegal up until then

take care young man

Hahaha Exactly the opposite Frank , its daunting , for sure i'd of been better off doing it 10 years ago , but at the same time there's a real sense of excitement now its all coming together , Back out there end of Jan , that's when things really start to kickoff

Well......as the great Generals used remark before a campaign........."Nothing ever goes to plan!"


So have contingencies and plans B, C, D and E in a high state of preparediness!

Senegal is plan B Frank , good job too , especially after Liberia got caught up in the ebola outbreak , still got the land out there tho possibly for a later date or i'll sell the rights , certain info that's come to light In Mako are going to make these coming months really interesting

Sorry Loz, didn't come back onto my thread to see last post by you.

The guy is working away on B12, now hes gone out as a sole trader, he needs some cash flow, so money is changing hands in recent days

Effectively hes had to redo all the stuff the other "bodyman" had done, so hes now lining up panels for fit, just few small areas to finish on body, then fettle wings. he reckons the grille opening won't need too much adjustment.

Then starting paint prep next week, no pics as I left camera with him this week, to take pics as he goes along

Nice to see you on the forum Bal, how are you?

Yes, am quite pleased with how things are going at moment, another staged payment on Thursday, then he buys in paint etc for next week.

Obviously the schedule quite delayed now, hoping to get more done to car but only starting after May effectively as my main guy is busy til then
