Started loading up for the rally today. First the Commando 800 C-81, followed by the Black Horse C-121 and finally the Mountield 11hp that's going in the auction. I did wonder how I was going to get the non running Mountfield, broken throttle cable, on the trailer. Recycled hospital bed to the rescue.

Just a quick update as I'm off to the workshop shortly.. The fillering continues, the fender pan is still a way off yet but is getting there.. The top of the bonnet/hood had got to the point where it looked good and felt smooth.. Only one way to find out, hit it with primer.. Which I did and left it to dry overnight. Much to my shock the next day (yesterday) I found only a couple of high spots, a small low spot and a few pin holes in the filler.. So... More sanding, 3 good coats of primer, flatten back the primer and hit iot with 3 more good coats..... A bit of wet and dry work today will leave a very nice smooth finish for the top coats I have been working on the smaller panels as well, a bit of sun to help dry them.. Quite fun as I had to keep moving bits inside to avoid rain/hail/snow showers! Here's the next shower approaching!

As most of you know I run my own plant hire business so get lots of weird and wonderful jobs and today had no exception I had to sort out a horse arena so I put my spike arrows on and sent Sam round doing it .

Very delectable, James. Can't wait to see it with a 5th wheel and swan neck twin axle trailer.

Great Job! but if you were towing a mini digger you have lost it

Please don't put chequer plate on it

That looks really nice, definitely a head turner!!

Really nice job James that will wow them at the shows

looks amazing James. I can see you've still got more to do. are you going to black the bonnet, and I think the number plate looks a bit cheesey

Ask koen he's Dutch

Nice job there, James.

Not big enough, only 4 ply....

The last shed in the row gets a bit of a tidy up to match the rest
