Once there, we grouped up with our leader Paul and set to work. Gary and Robin being the mechanical experts, they cracked on with welding the support beams into place around the battery box, while myself and Paul kept busy by starting to catalogue items in preparation for further sale in a bid to raise further funds towards 2599's restoration.
It was also during this visit to the farm the group were acquainted with the delicacy of the bacon & egg 'banjo'...as we have mentioned before, Gary's minibus comes equipped for all scenarios, including a grill and a kettle! The key to success with a bacon & egg 'banjo' is a particularly runny yolk, and after being introduced to this delicacy, it was decided that our leader himself should be let loose to cook up the next batch (assisted by associate and fellow group member Paul Gaunt), and we are led to believe their efforts did not disappoint!
Now sadly your blogmaster had to disappear and actually do some work for a living (shock horror), however Gary and Robin very kindly supplied photographs of the almost finished article after they had finished welding and painting the steel beams to the battery box. And all I can say is wow...it looks a lot better than before! All that remains now is to coat the beams in rust-proofing silver and put the floor back in place, before we can announce another job well done.
