Well the past two weeks have been a roller coaster, and I finally feel more confident that the carrier will make its debut at the show ! None of this would have been possible without my circle of friends going above and beyond the call of duty ! From the fiddly laborious bits, to detail work, to driving three hours then spending the entire day wiring up my entire carrier, and to ask nothing for it has humbled me completely !!!! I would still like to repay in kind if only people would accept it !
The 17th and 18th were two exceptional days which I will never forget. Bill, Mike, and Checkie rocked up at 0900... All asking "what you want me to do first".... I finally understand what it is like to be a project leader, and let me tell you......no thanks !! It's so hard giving folk jobs and explaining how I want it done....
Checkie and his wires...
Lots of the welding work was done by Bill who made a radiator out of a Mercedes sprinter core, this is until I get the bespoke one back from pro alloy, where a pal is making me a radiator in his downtime.....again out of the goodness of his heart !
I had spoke to my pal Paul who has access to a Hi Ab, and he was going to rock up at around 1800 hours on the 17th.. However I got a call at lunchtime that day to say he would be there by 4pm...... And he was literally there within a minute of his stated time !!! Having just drove up from Bristol, a long day on the road to finish work late and help me....out of the kindness of his heart !
Service with a smile !

And all the hard work has lead to this

And of course not to forget Shaun Hindle for his time and expertise, and the rest of my extended family at MLU !
If a man was graded by the calibre of his friends, I would surely be royalty !
Started my exhaust cans today but will update that in due course
Getting there !!!!
