Yeah good one...

I'm half way through my paint job. I'm stuck painting outside which is less than ideal in a summer with more rain than we had in the winter. I'm getting to the stage where I'll be off to the technical college just round the corner to see if I can hire a spray booth.

As for the transmission - that's back together so in principle I could fit that and the engine and get it running. Virtually everything else has been done.

I have a bit of rust to repair on the floor pan - that's what I'm doing today between the showers from the heavens. And whilst I've got the interior out I guess I should check the condition of the heater matrix...

...you see even for an idiot like myself who insists on taking everything to bits a car is eventually a finite thing. There won't be anything else left to "fix" soon.
