My replacement welder arrived today, Yeehah, got to be happy with the service provided by Hare and Forbes in Sydney, couldn't do enough to help.




Off to pick up the gas bottle tomorrow. I also am picking up a set of triple SU's tomorrow as well.

Was somewhat concerned at the delivery drivers attitude, I have no confidence in the other welder getting back to Hare and Forbes without further damage.

What's on the agenda this weekend....weld the replacement panels into my FC.

I suppose the colour's OK, but I would have preferred it with a red flash instead of yellow - and where's the whitewalls and fox tail?  ???

No more excuses now buddy!  ;)  :D

Thank you for the compliments

Kathi, neither overly smart nor sick, just the average amount of both, remember - it was your idea.  ;D

An Update

Finally getting back into the FC, and making some progress. Katie, my 4 year old daughter, starts pre school next week so I will have 25 hours a fortnight to myself (Yahoo). I work a permanent night shift ( start at 2:30 pm and get home at about 1:00am.) My wife works part time 9:00am-2:00pm) so I have the parenting duties in the morning. I have really been reluctant to do any welding while Katie is at home, as I hate the thought of her coming to see what I am doing, only to see me welding and standing there watching the pretty blue light. It really has not been an option.

I have been dismantling an FC to obtain more parts and will be able to use the bottom of the rear 1/4 panels, some floor sections and various other bits and pieces to continue on with. With Katie at pre school then I will be able "get into it".

Sandy has even allowed her car to be parked outside while the dismantling of the FC takes place  ::) (Strict conditions apply)

So watch this space for more updates and progress reports to follow!

God to hear you'll soon be back into it Keith.  :D

However - you've put it out there now and you know full well the consequences if updates are not regularly posted!  :)

oh dear, oh my  ::)

Are you a slow learner, Keith?  ;)

Or is it just that you think that Kathi's "encouragement" (read 'threats' ;D) will give you added impetus?  ;D

Great to see that you're seriously into it again; I'll be waiting for the regular updates too...  :)

cheers, jack

ps  you'll be able to work much faster without all that hair on your face slowing you down...  ;D

The hair on my head will go when I get to $500.00 (and I am there so that will go) and the beard will go when I get to $1000

Thanks for your comments, I need to get into this, and would appreciate the encouragement (threats, smacks around the head etc) if I start to slack off. Please note well in advance there will be no updates between 15th April and 30th April (overseas)

Hi Keith, got some good serious work in front of you ;)
Remember just sing out if you need a hand with anything, even welding tuition.
Not you me  ;D

Are you heading back over for Anzac duties?
