A note from Kelvin and a report from Bob E.

Please pass on my thanks to all those that came out today to help to strip down the Landy. We made a huge dent in it. Doors off and striped off locks, glass, etc. Front wings removed, front panel and rad, seat mounts, steering box and pitman arms, amazing in just 6 hours.

Friday's funtime tool party at Kelvin's

   See Joe.
See Joe under the old car
See the safety goggles.

   See Bob.
See the high powered impact driver.
See Bob apply the high powered impact driver to a bunch of rusty stuff inside the old car.
See Joe under the car being showered by piles of rusty bits, nuts, old bird's nests, a bullet, and an assortment of 40 years of accumulated junk loosened by the high powered impact driver.
See Joe wish he'd put on the safety goggles.

      Surprisingly, we made lots of progress.  Kelvin owns at least a dozen impact drivers and air ratchets, all of which saw use today, usually all at the same time.  And boy, was it loud...I SAID IT WAS LOUD!   Unfortunately he only has one socket set meaning that we had better not lose that 7/16 socket.   It changed hands every couple of minutes as it seemed that most bolts were that particular size.  Many parts were persuaded to come loose with the pile of disassembled bits growing as the Land Rover grew visibly smaller.
       A lunch break was provided by Fiona who took the occasion to celebrate her promotion to a day job. 
       There will be more opportunities in the near future for FABACians to go where others fear to tread.   Watch here for the next chance to bust some knuckles.
