Re- PP :roll: :wink: in a year :D now :shock: :shock:

Forget about pace for a good few months and build that engine, sand the rust off first, prime it,
two coats of undercoat then put on the gloss then enjoy the pain :lol: :wink:
I have a lot of rust to sand off! Hahahaha. Thank you for the encouragement, Paul!

Funny you should mention enjoying the pain. I'm actually looking forward to when the rest of my body is adjusted enough so I can actually push myself hard enough to get that old familiar leg pain going again.

Right now my limiting points are all weird places. Hands. Shoulders. Breathing. Bleh!
