              Funnily enough, to sort my priorities out a bit, I made a list the other day...

              brake hoses
              injectors
              remap
              intercooler re-plumb
              allard pipe
              roof lining
              rear splitter
              front splitter
              exhaust
              curtain fixings
              fridge cupboard
              paint dash/doors
              cooker top
              brake conversion
              paint wheels

              Either jobs to do or finish off - it's never ending with these vans....

              Then there's the RWD space framed W12 mid engined doka that I need to build.

                    Started by doing some cad work today, using my favourite 'package' - cheerios



                    There were 3 version before I got close to the final design, which was then copied onto some 10mm ally plate.

                    I started with a jigsaw first and that was very slow and killed a new blade within minutes (about 8mm cut)

                    So then I tried an old wood jack saw - that was quicker but soon went blunt

                    Then I tried a hack saw with a coarse blade, slow going and heavy work.

                    So I bust out the grinder, lots of noise and dust.....



                    Everything got really hot, the grinder and the workpiece.

                    But finally got something roughly cut out



                    Which I have started to clean up with a file and a flap wheel in the grinder



                    It's getting there....

                    • Nearly forgot one piccy...

                      I ordered some paint using the colour code RAL "f*cking orange"



                      Subtle.

                        Reg is it not dangerous to be using power tools, especially a grinder with no trousers on?

                            It's more dangerous for you to keep peeking through the crack in my garage door whilst I'm doing it.

                              How did you expect him to make a template of it without taking his trousers off. 😬
                              Impressive Reg 😀
