The sun peeped out eventually early morning so I decided I'd better get another bubble done. This time the new blue one in the new garage. First warm up the Ferrari and get the Aston out. Gosh it looked good on the drive.
Anyway I unpacked the new bubble and started work.
A couple of positive changes to the design: there were tags on the roof so I could hang it up and the zips seemed better quality. However the charger connections have changed format and the unit is much bigger. After an hour's work I realised that it would not fit. It's too tall and the shape of the box to stop the water getting in cuts into the frame. So a bit disappointing (that seems to be happening a lot recently) and I needed a change of plan.
That involved going into town in the SAAB - hair cut and re-think.
It was sunny though which helped me de-stress. After lunch we went back to plan B and put the new bubble in the brick garage. That took over an hour - especially as it can't go against the wall because of the petrol pump. It also felt bigger ? However it all fitted together well - although it helped that I knew what I was doing as many of the poles had lost their labels already.
It was too nice an afternoon not to take the Ferrari around the block - and I'm happy to report it behaved impeccably - and looked great - well a little less great by the time we'd got home on the dirty roads.
I also had to make a temporary fitting for the power but here we are - packed away.
Three down - but I must look at the Talbot when I get chance.
