Re: In the workshop at present
Refitted the bootlid (only just manageable on my own) flatted & polished to stage 3 - Tyres refitted to the rims and the rear wheels fitted - still loads to do and I had had better head back into the workshop

Re: In the workshop at present
Jerry rigged winch in the rear of a Transit Luton - gave me the capability to load the shell by myself, then to pack the rest of my gear carefully around it

Re: In the workshop at present
So one Luton box van, 4 x largeish estate cars full of parts, tools, equipment & an industrial sewing machine plus a standard size Transit with our display / media boards arrive at the show and we can get the stand built (which takes all day) - The Javelin gets placed on axle stands, 52 Jupiter in race trim (actively campaigned in classic racing and finished 9th at the classic LeMans last year - not at all bad for a little 1500cc boxer engined car that is competing with powerful cars of several litres) SWMBO reupholstered a Javelin bench seat throughout the show
