Its been a while.......

What can I say, its been a while since I posted an update to this blog. A few big things have happened in my personal life, I've learnt that Honda of The UK Manufacturing Ltd in Swindon in closing in July 21 and with it goes my job, the world has gone into lock down and Covid-19 is all that everyone is talking about. Luckily none of my family have been affected yet and I hope those reading this are in a similar position.

I've been working from home since March and really enjoying seeing the family more and watching my now 8 year old head swiftly towards being 9! That milestone also marks the same anniversary of loosing my dad and I still miss his little forays into the garage to dispense often odd advice.

It also marks the point of last real activity on the build, all I've done since is accumulate parts. In 2018 I went up to see GD in their new location to collect a car load of bits, my daughter and I had a great day out and got to spend some quality time together talking cars.

She also came to Stoneleigh last year with me, we paid our obligatory visit to the GD stand where the "orange and black one" was an absolute stunner. Though to be honest I think she really enjoyed the bouncy castle and hotdogs the most!

So what next, well I hope to get some time in the garage this year, if only to unearth project GD from its bric a brac grave and run the engine for the first time in 5 years 😟. But whatever happens in July next year I will suddenly have an abundance of time to get things done so I've pledged to get the car finished, hopefully by end of 2021/2022!! Yeah right!!!!
