Well, I'm pleased someone was getting proper stuff done.
I just spent an hour out in my carport with degreaser, a hose and a broom getting oil off the floor.
It's a long story.
But here's a tip.....flour as a oil absorber makes for a long cleanup job..... :(
I'm still going to have to go at again and use a gurney.
Mmmm, might be able to do the underside of the '62 at the same time. :|
Top work as usual, Klaus.
Might have some work for you myself.
Cheers & God Bless

Just a quick and much needed up-date....Klaus has once again done an outstanding job in get'n anther Splity back on the road....yes that's right over the last 6 or so weeks he has helped me out beyond any of my expectations in get'n the panel on the road in time for Old Bar and as some of you that were there saw we made it !

Once again it came down to the wire with a blue slip being passed only last Thursday and Rego on the Friday then driving it back from Klaus's to our place on the Central Coast along with Klaus and Jeff before head'n up to Old Bar Sat. morn'n.

I'm as happy as a one legged lesso in a pogo stick shop to say the least and even with the minor hic cup (smashed windscreen) on the way home I'm still smile'n from ear to ear.

Only need to do the 'flipped spindles' thind now and it'll be low and sweet !

I'll post a few photo's soon....

Thanks again must go to Klaus and while I'm at it I must also thank Jeff for his assistance also...you Guys are awesome !
