I think 'sturdy' covers it.. ;D not the lightest things in the world, though, you're right.

Now all I have to do is get the remaining chunk of bolt out, press all the bushes out (not that the one I tried to press out wanted to go anywhere despite the 8" vice) and get them blasted & coated.. ;D

Changed about 2.5 doors on the Silver Bullet. Changing the drivers front door loom over was best described as 'fiddly'...  ...and that was with the luxury of the tailgate of a nice supercharged Range Rover as a workbench ;D

Serviced the lawnmower, and also changed the oil again on the Silver Bullet.

They could almost be designed for that ::)  though it might be a bit high unless Josh has found the ride height controls...

Relieved Rob of his black leather estate interior, unloaded the car and started stripping it :y

Back half looks like a different car :o just the front seats and carpets to go :)

Door cards can wait until tomorrow  :-Xl

Almost finished the interior 8) but have a couple of small jobs to do int morning before I leave :'(

Namely fit the rear carpet and bolt in the front seats :-X

Would finish it tonight but just seen the time and much as I like my neighbours using a hoover at 11.30 on a Sunday night might just be deemed anti social ::)
