How many are working on CMPs today?

[Richard Coutts-Smith]

A quick poll on Saturday Feb 14th 2009 to see how many CMP projects are being worked on today.

With Corowa just over a month away I was working away on the F15 and it occurred to me there must be several other people and projects being worked on at this very time.

Below is an incomplete list based on those I could think of quickly who would be doing the same. Please feel free to amend or add to the list, you don't need to be preparing for Corowa. How many of you are working this Saturday (wherever you are in the world)?

Please add your name, location, vehicle type and the work you're doing today.

Victoria
Rick Cove And Richard Coutts-Smith, enjoying the cooler break in the shed at Barnawartha. Refitted front hubs and brakes, reshimmed swivel pins (may have found the cause for the incredible wheel shimmy), panel beat the mudgaurds,grease, strip the rear breaks (Keep assuring Rick that they worked a treat last time I used them, obviously as the new owner he has not maintained them properly). Sunday,fit indicator brake lights, windscreens, wipers, plugs, radiator, gauges etc ets.

Hoping to start the engine again this week on the cab 11 as it has been a while
over the weekend I found enough parts to assemble the head lights and since we are not painting the 11 I cleaned the inside of the lights and painted them with fish oil and hopefully that protects them from rusting any more
our big job during last week was fitting reconditioned brake wheel cylinders to the ford 1 ton ute, greasing wheel bearings and fitting a better steering box and today we are going for a test run to make sure all adjustments are ok. not long before it heads off to be loaded ready for the trip to Europe

I am still working on my F30,some decking to obtain and wiring to finish.
Am also working on a c8ax cab rebuild for a fellow club member,these are what keep me busy on sunday mornings.

Hello Everyone,
Last Saturday was spent working on the F30 bumper. It was badly bent and twisted and has sat for nearly four years waiting for the right piece of steel to come along to make a new one. This did not happen. At least now I will have an original bumper with lots of "patina".
I was hoping to be able to drive the 305 km to this years NZMVCC Easter rally in Rob Beale's home town of Gisborne.
Still lots to do and time is ticking away so maybe it will be by car.
Regards,
Terry
