Default A slight tangent

Work has got in the way for the past month and not much has occurred.

The frame is now all welded together and ready for sand blasting. Not a very exciting job but my welding is improving no end.

I received a new steering wheel from a friend and removed the old one from the donor steering column as it was cracked around the central boss and the outer rim. New steering wheel does not fit - has smaller diameter bush

Retrieved old steering wheel from rubbish pile, picked up trusty multi-tool and cleaned out all the cracks back to the bare metal frame before filling and re-profiling.

Just researching for a suitable paint whilst waiting for the weather to clear-up.
