As per usual, the esCarpade seems to be getting closer and closer, while Booger Mobile sits forlornly in the shed waiting for its engine to return... Less than five months to go until the 2011 esCarpade, so Damian thought he should get up to the shed to get some stuff sorted out!!
The headers (extractors) were partially wrapped last year to try to contain some of the heat, however the amount of wrapping that was possible was limited due to the engine being in the way... with the engine gone, Damian figured it would be a good time to finish wrapping them...
This is what they looked like before...
And how better to do it than to get into the engine bay??
Cleaned, with the new wrap started (you can see it's much cleaner - right hand side of the picture).
One section finished...
Next section commenced... need some more wrap!!
Jason called to see what Damian was up to, so Damian headed down to the house to ensure that Tonka (the dog) was under control, and found a well fed green tree snake making its way across the roof...
When Jason arrived, the header wrapping stopped, and the workbench building continued!!
Bits and pieces hanging off it everywhere...
Glad Jason knows what he's doing!!
Framing finished...
Time to build a set of shelves...
One set of shelves finished - Damian will have no excuse for the shed being untidy now!!
Jason's son Jake had the delightful task of screwing down the shelf and the top of the workbench...
And the workbench has been christened - the boys used it to build a frame for another set of shelves!!
One piece of splashback fitted, and it was time to call it a night...
Shed looking past the shelves and towards the workbench...
Close up of the workbench...
The other set of shelves - currently blocking Booger Mobile's exit... but it's not going anywhere until it gets an engine anyway!! This set of shelves will go on the left hand side of the wall in the background...
Voila!! Workbench is done!!
It's going to be a busy week or two at Team Booger Mobile HQ... Damian is going to be away at camp this coming weekend, so will need to get the shed tidied up over the next night or two so that when he returns, it can be all systems go.
The Rock'n'Rodz car show is less than two weeks away... will Booger Mobile be back together in time??? Stay tuned to find out!!
HEAD RAPPING WHOOPS WRAPING After climbing into Booger Mobile engine bay and doing a whole lot of wrapping of the extractors,one wonders how did Damian climb out again.
ReplyDeleteHeading down to the house to find out what his main supervisor Tonka the dog was up to, Damian found that Tonka had mananged to round up another snake this time it was a fat green tree snake.
Jason and Jake arrived to finish off the shelves and benches,and what a fantastic job they did of them under the close supervison of Tonka.Its amazing what you can achive with a hammer and a nail and a piece of wood, and a whole lot of know how great work guys.
The pictures are great showing everything from the start to the end with Tonka checking out the end result, he looks very pleased with it.
Well the Camp Quality 2011 esCarpade is drawing ever closer, will Booger Mobile be ready on time 'geez' that sounds familer.
Great days work Damian,Jason and Jake well done.
