Ha ha I'm at work. Will take it easy the next few days. Eating the curry of burning irony in sandwiches for smoko .



OUCH

Blistered up yet?

Amazingly looks pretty good today. Did 1 hour of cold water on off till the heat disappeared. Wrapped in sterile cloth and glad wrap. Nurse said just put antiseptic on for 5 minutes then pat clean keep re laying dressing.
10 hours and I'm done

At least it won't take long to roll the walls

At it again I see! I did our front lounge and the office/kids rooms with floorboards. Cut the edges in with a little rolling edges thing was way easier than tape and brush. I rolled the walls with a long extension on the roller and a halogen light pointing on the wall with 2 pedestal fans running in the room. Was way easier to see from standing back with the long extension pole and light in the room, was colder weather like now so fans and airflow helped the paint dry alot. Stained the timber skirtings in Japan black and cut the shape for a butt up not mitres with a coping saw. Re-done the ceiling first when the floor was concrete with drop sheets. Used the ceiling paint that goes on pink and dries white. Way easier too see. Not a doubt in my mind you've done a trick job!! Animal:-)
Evening all!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
