The Dream to reality..

It's Saturday 28th January 2017, 8.00am and my partner Linda and Daniel my nephew are going on a road trip ... Yep , heading up north to the GBS factory to collect my kit and a few additional items 😊.We arrived at about 1.30 pm to find the gates of GBS closed and no one in sight 😟. Straight away on the mobile to phone Steve should have been there to meet me. No answer on the phone, "have i got the right day, of course i have, haven't i ?" A white fiesta came round the corner and parked in front of the gates and to my relief Steve stepped out " we didn't have any milk" he explained.So a cup of tea later there we were loading the long wheel base transit with my goodies.

Sorry , no pictures of the loading process, but here's one of van loaded and ready to roll.7.30pm and we eventually arrived home, been a long day.We unloaded the van of goodies into the workshop and called it a day.

Look what i've got

Something missing ...

That's better

Broomm.. Broomm..

So its Sunday morning and first job on the list is to find a home for all the bits and pieces of the kit.

Hung what i could from the rafters a few bits in the loft and others that wouldn't fit through the loft hatch i've hidden in Linda's craft room 😟 ( i'm sure she wont notice the nose cone and bonnet )😉.

Next job on the list is to get the chassis on some sort of stand.
I know i could have got a couple of trestles, but i wanted something height adjustable and mobile, so this is what i came up with.

Axle stands are screwed into timber and dowel pegs are to stop chassis sliding off when moving about.
