Started out slow with a little of this






Then moved on to some of this



Then figured it was time I got around to putting this thing together





and take care of all the little things necessary to cram it into this








Actually wound up installing the motor and then pulling it and tearing it down again due to my OCD when i remembered i hadnt painted the under side of the tin before then installing it a 2nd time. Wound up swapping the exhaust on the M3 twice as well, first time to bring it back to stock (I bought it with an after market catback on it, wife said it was annoying) then then later that day swapping it back to the aftermarket cat back after the wife said it was a "pansy car" now, "didnt sound like an M3 should" and that "she preferred to hear me coming". I cant win, but at it gave me something to do.

That's a Beauty James. Bringing it to RRC this year? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Picked up some more exterior siding for the north side this morning - will cut to size, prime & paint this afternoon.

Really need to focus on getting the roof prepped for shingles ... we got hit with a freak rain day last week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Well, I have been working this whole time so not really sheltering in place. I went to San Diego BC (before covid) and was out there for about 1.5 months after the covid got here. Since I have been home I have still been working but I limit my going out.

My shop has been a mess for a while, basically cow paths to get to things. I have been trying to remedy that while continuing to do yard work, home improvements, wrench on my Opel, etc.

I am not much of a carpenter but I built a tire rack yesterday to get some floor space free. Please ignore some of the angles the 2 2x4s holding the tires are level but the mounts suffer from a 130yo barn.

With that much weight, I would put in a middle support.

Now I look at a work bench and have fond memory's of when the top was clear.

My son and I took down the old outhouse and shed at the Lakehouse in NH. The first year we owned the place we worked on it in the winter with the water turned off so I can actually say I've used said outhouse. But it was time to go.

@Unobtanium-inc where in NH? I am in Somersworth over by Dover.

@Toby I concur but it is not sagging yet. Those 6 spoke Audi wheels are huge weight too. I hung off both ends and the middle @ 230#. I might put in a triangle brace between the windows.
My plan for that side of the shop is to put wheels on the Kennedy bench and roll it over by my other WB and put shelves up to the windows for bin storage. the will tie into the tire rack as well.

Lots of things done to the 911. So many "while you're in there" issues. All fixed.

Almost ready for the June 6 drive.....Attached Image

Our shack is in Richmond, about 30 mins south of Keene, almost in Mass, but enough in that I can play the part. I actually have a Porsche parked there right now, picked up three cars near Salem, so stopped here on the way home.

Working on the ‘68 Fiat 124 Sport Spider. Replacignthe engine mounts only to find that the DPO stripped the bottom engine mount bolt which, of course, rececessed into the front subframe. So now the front suspension and engine have to come out to do that.

Almost finished building my very first double sash window jamb. Still waiting for the sill material ordered from Homie Depot and having the diffused glass installed (which I'll job out - I'm terrible at glazing).

Attached Image


The next window jamb should be a whole lot easier ... it'll either be fixed, or possibly a transom window, hinged at the bottom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I started prepping the area where that window is going ... cutting the stucco was a messy job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Attached Image


... Also, last week I picked up some used 75 watt solar panels (that were on one of the old Toyota headquarters' buildings) for $20. each. They didn't have frames, so, since I had the tools handy, built a wooden frame for one of them. This one is for a friend who needs to keep the battery in his camp trailer charged up. I'll make frames for the other panels somewhere down the road ...
