I have two on the go.  One is the move to 'Amurika' which involves DIY, selling house, getting rid of crap, visas, financial planning, work planning (contractor), etc, etc.  The other is almost finished (which started last year) converting a SIB (a small RIB with a solid floor and an inflatable keel) for spearfishing with a custom made console to store the guns along with a 15hp hydrofoiled outboard, boarding ladder, radio and nav light.  To say it goes like stink is an understatement.

My other project is getting the wife fixed and battling the hell of the NHS such that they support the procedure she desperately needs, to address her low blood O2 levels, and that is not routinely funded  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

My current list of (half finished) projects....
1. Extend the garage, roof partially done. Need more concrete and a wall or two.
2. My sons bedroom. Currently, no floor boards, no radiator. Some pointing to do, some plastering.
3. MX5 repair. Need to replace the rear quarter panel and then I'd like to put a silly engine in.

I have no idea exactly what your wife's problem is, Mark, but surely, if it's affecting her health, then it should be treated.

1959 108 DMU is the current big job, lots of welding, fabrication, electrical and engine work to do/done.

Extension finished......well as finished as such things ever get (given the wife now wants blinds in MY man cave!)

Now that is worthwhile project, even on a diesel! 8) 8) :D :y

Building a wooden model of H.M.S.Victory.It took nearly 2yrs to gather all the bits I figured I'd need and nearly 4yrs from starting the build I've nearly got the hull finished-nearly 3ft from stem to stern post and not including the bowsprit which is not yet installed.


That is my kind of project nowadays, although in my younger times I built many models of ships, trains, planes and historical figures.  My best was the Airfx model of HMS Victory which I fully rigged with my fathers help. 8) ;)

I'm only allowed one at a time, and I think you all know what that is ;D

Made a little progress on it at the weekend, although I am missing one roll-bar as it's on back order. I'd much prefer an original style 2" bar, but that may be beyond my meagre abilities to sort. We'll see.

Still 100% stuck with the wiring loom, mind.. fscking wiring.

Your assumption is entirely unfounded............sadly.

Are you making your own loom then? The Westfield one was a case of P-clipping it in place, then plugging everything in.

Long story short; (old Dax, pre rebirth) failed to supply a loom after several months (despite it being "on the shelf"), so a chargeback ensued. A couple more months trying to talk to the guy who makes the looms for Dax also resulted in frustration.. so I bought an "off the shelf" universal 12-circuit loom, so it needs some chopping and changing. Not to mention figuring out where the heck to fit the fuse boxes & relays in very little available space :)

Said universal loom didn't come with a wiring diagram, of course, which would have been nice... (From S-V-C)

Oh, dear. What a PITA.

I think I'd have made myself a CAN bus board for each corner. ;D

My advice, don't waste your time and energy arguing with them. They are a law unto themselves.
Go private. You shouldn't have to, but the relief from getting proper treatment outweighs the frustration of knowing you shouldn't have had to do it, ime.

I would love to do a kit car, but realistically, I cant see it ever happening. I don't have a garage, and I would imagine its pretty difficult to do without one.  :(
