Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Getting the paving corrected as part of this carport build is necessary
The camera loses some of the damage perception but a plank gives you the idea at least. ![]() ![]() While out at at the shops and in the scrapyard on Saturday, Mate PaulF whose hydraulic press I used for the Chevy Blazer suspension parts and whose brake line making kit I got to use to make up the C10’s new brake lines And I were chatting on Messenger Video, as you do, when he asked me what job was next, so I mentioned that the paving, posted above here, has to be repaired and the base compacted and redone. “Do you have a whacker plate or compactor ?” He asked, of. Course I did not, so he offered to go fetch his from a friend who had used it and deliver it to my place in an hour or two. Plus have a coffee and a chat. Bargain !! Couple of hours later a Nissan Cube reversed down my drive. ![]() Giving birth to this handy tool. ![]() The weather turned in the afternoon which stopped play, but a good weekend in all. Saturday evening sunset. ![]() Sunday rolled in and I had planned to get started on lifting the paving and repairing the subsidence Facebook said it was 6 years since the last MOT on the C10 ![]() But Sally who came over by 08.00 had other ideas as the weather still sucked. Also, I had managed to get a second short term lodger, a welder on a maintenance contract at a local power station. So it may just be 7 weeks or less, but cash ion the bank is cash in the bank. So Sally insisted I clear out some space for the new guy. She also has a new lodger, which will help fill the hole her cars engine blowing up had made in her savings. So it seems I was stuck indoors all day. Found some food from 2009 and more recently. Not impressed with Sally Poking the Bear. ![]() Chatting with Craig at one point, he was photobombed by Lilly. ![]() Back to cleaning the house, every surface, flor etc washed and cleaned. Sally is a menace with a camera. ![]() Eventually got it all wrapped up, and to be honest, I am pleased, and thankful for all the help she gave me too. Hope to find time over the next weekend to sort the paving if the weather plays along.
