So Sunday came and went, weather was again a bit iffy.
Bits of rain, just enough to support my overall loss of my normal MoJo.
So eventually I made it out the house by 12.00, where are the days when I would be in the garage by 04.00 to work three hours on the teardrop build before breakfast, a shower and heading out for work.
Today was the rear door, a job I approached with anticipation of failure, based on the job so far.
I now had a “door handle” diagonally across the frame and a lock and opening mechanism to work around.
So I photographed the door mechanism and removed it.
Also removed the number plate light fitting.
Then started cutting in the bottom and side pieces, nothing is straight or simple……
Many curves later, side pieces fit.
And then glued in place.
Followed by measurements for the flat surface and a piece cut off the roll.
After some fighting, it was glued in place to a standard that is aligned with the quality of the car.
Looking at it along with the drivers side interior….. a lot of brown.
Shutting the door, you have even more brown.
But it was starting to look like a unit, if you could even dare say that.
While I was playing with my car, Sally was at home working on her glass pictures.
She collects the glass and pottery shards when walking the dog.
These pictures are sold on Etsy and Vinted (not by her) for £25-35 and if you look at the whole process, it’s actually not a lot of money for what does into it.
Proud of her for sure.
And later in the evening, mate Matt, @pegasus sent a pic of his son, who saw the Vanta, and wanted one too……
So he built his son a Canta.
And before you could blink, the weekend was over again.
Time does fly.
