Fri.20.10.06. Colin has been cutting then welding the seat rails. These were not a perfect match for the 63’ seats as original runners are extremely rare, if not impossible to find. But Colin has gained great satisfaction from a mornings work, cutting, grinding and welding so that the ‘bastard’ runners fit perfectly. Colin, typically, is also not happy with the exhaust system as it falls below his standards.
The alternative would have cost in excess of £500.00 but would still require the same amount of time and effort to make it fit. A direct route has been chosen from front to back, dividing at the differential, running the individual back box sections around, but parallel to the fuel tank. The baffles may hang very low but this can only be tested when the car is standing at its proper driving height.
Having examined the order from Paddocks Chris is relatively content with the provenance of the parts and has begun to assemble the front and rear suspension units, but, “It might say Lucas, England on the box but it’s been made under licence in friggin’ India!” Oh well, it’s been another one of those days.
Down at the Oak the gang had gathered with first of all Steven opening with his proposals for the Sunday sermon, the crux of which contained his ‘off road’ exploits during the week. The gist of which would be that he was an ELP (easily led person).
To put your complete faith in any one person, because they claim to be an expert and for that person to continually use the phrase “trust me”, is misguided possibly leading to disastrous consequences. One must always believe in one’s own judgement. Steven knew that the boggy ground was ahead but ignored his own feelings of danger after been falsely encouraged by a friend to push on. The basis of the sermon on Sunday would be ‘unwarranted trust’, which does appear somewhat of a contradiction when the church persistently promotes ‘blind faith’.
