Bob's coming along nicely now.
Managed a bit of re-cycling today!!!!!
Put Cassie's old cloth seats in Bob.
Took abit of welding and fabrication to get them to fit but i'm well happy with the results - alot better than the split and knackered old Zuke seats that were in her.
Was hoping that my new indicators/sidelights would arrive today, but the postie didn't deliver. OH well, I'm off all this week again - more holiday I had to take - so when they do arrive I can get them on her and then cut the old bumper over-riders off!!!!
Here's a couple of pics:

Down our way, BOB is a local brew, being the acronym for Brand Oak Bitter - and very nice it is too (probably much like Jays second Beast (apart from the pink head restraints ;D ))

Thanks - I feel absolutely knackered now after today. Gonna try to re-fabricate the moutings for the bull bar tomorrow - so I can lift it clear to improve the approach angle. Wish the new lights had arived today then the rear bumper could have been removed - got a nice scaffold pipe to replace the thin, tin-worm ridden rear one. |

Another prosperous day with BOB!!!!
1) Cut the front bumper mounts off
2) Temporarily mounted the sidelights/indicators on the bull bar - got new L***R**** indis/sides/brakes coming - hopefully tomorrow to fit in the ends of the wings level with the side lights back and front.
3) Removed the anti-roll bar at the front to let the springs have more travel
4) Welded up a 'bolt-in' doggy gaurd to keep 'stinky' stella in the back where she belongs - so my seats stay lovely and clean(ish)5) Split my overalls 'big styleeee' right round the crutch and I am absolutely black as black can be. Shower then food me recons - followed, nopepre-ceeded by a stiff alcholic beverage!!!!!! Prob vodca/coke - LOL. Not working tomorrow - or all this week, so I CAN drink - he he he he.
More pics tomorrow once my new lights etc arrive and I get them fitted - plus Stella gets her first ride out in her tomorrow - can't wait.

OK - new front lights fitted today - in between running back and forth from the warmth of the house to get the use back of my frozen fingers - GOD AINT IT COLD? ??
Anyways - pic.
Rear lights to go in tomorrow - gotta fabricate a new bumper up out of 3mm plate and scaffold tube - should be pretty solid though

Finished me new rear bumper this week. The old one had returned back to its earthly composites - ie: the tin worm had been and moved on - it was that bad.
So, after raiding the attic and 're-cycling' parts from an old York Weight's bench, I built this:
