Well done, I like the clean look and simplistic way you did it, very nice.


As we all have so much time, no need to sit and post on this thread late at night... :lol:

After cleaning the workshop/ garage / spares room, I have tunes the cars, and even stared reworking the shelves of spare parts.

Stripping, cleaning, wire brushing, and oiling or painting which ever is needed.

Sorting parts in their car model groups.

Not much left to do, lets hope we get to work soon.

Stay save guys

If only we had more time before lockdown, our time could have been spent more productive.

Oh well, now we can sit up all night and wonder how bad its still going to get.

Lets just hope its not going to have a lasting effect,

Stay safe guys

That is true...

Trying to keep my head up, but 80 to 90hr working weeks are slowly wearing me out. As is the uncertainty of when I’ll be able to get home.
There are over a thousand of us in USA who can’t get home...
