The Current Driveway...

Well, a good day's weather allowed for a good day's work, and the rocket is looking like a new one (underneath anyway!).

Here's the repair piece tacked in... I'm putting this pic here to show anyone that doesn't weld (but fancies it), that it always looks shite halfway through!  Welding rusty old cars is very different to welding fresh steel on a bench, 'better than it was' is often the best you can hope for...

And tidied up/waxoyled...  Plastic fuel tank, somehow only just noticed that today...

The welding along the back edge isn't my finest ever, but it is stuck and the angry grinder is a great friend in these instances I find!

My sprayer decided against it today, so I have brushed in a waxoyl/blo mix everywhere I can reach...

There are no lights on the dash, and no other faults I can think of, new tyres etc... so hopefully she'll go through without further work. 

I'm in for a cuppa, so just to tidy up, put the wheels back on and let her back down again and my evening will be my own, lovely.
