Sunday saw two momentous things happen.<\/p>\n

Firstly, I finished welding the roll cage up – a truly great moment<\/p>\n

Secondly, I did my back in again. Just grinding off a pointless bracket to get the car ready for paint, and I’ve been really done in since then. I write this on Saturday and I’m still unable to bend properly, I have to ice it every 2 hours, and it’s generally poor. Driving is painful and work isn’t on the agenda. Which is a total nightmare – it’s looking almost impossible to get the car done before WRGB entries close, and that’s the only way I’d enter – it has to be logbooked and largely complete for that. I have a week off (half term) in October, but I don’t think that will be enough.<\/p>\n

The only upside is that I mentioned on the phone to a friend (Kev, who used to navigate “back in the day” with me) about painting the car. One of those moments where you say something as a joke and hope they’ll say yes. And he did!<\/p>\n

So, although I’m unable to do much at all at the moment (and certainly won’t be for at least a week, if not two), the car has progressed – it’s now primered inside.<\/p>\n
