Just got back from the show. What another gorgeous day, had a great trip down & went via Cheddar on the way back (roof down all the way
).
The show was split over 2 halls, the Showering Pavillion & the Mendip Hall. Quite a good few autojumble stalls and of course the cars. Not too much going on in the way of "restoration", there were 3 or 4 cars actually having something done to them but the majority were either complete cars that had already been restored or "projects" in the middle of restoration but just sat sitting there on show. I haven't been to a restoration show before but was expecting to see a lot more activity with people taking out engines, rubbing down panels etc. etc. more like what the TDC do at Stoneleigh.
I had a long chat with a chap who does resprays in Plymouth. He had a collection of cars on his stand including an MGB Roadster, a Triumph TR4 and a newly resprayed rolling shell of an MGC GT. All very nicely done.
I bought some more windscreen finishing strip & a tool to put it in with from Phoenix Supplies, a rubber backing pad for my 4" grinder & some sanding pads and two tubes of Autosol (2 for a fiver). We only spent a couple of hours there but it was most enjoyable, especially as I got to spend some money.
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years.
... Still Sprintless.
Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.
