wasn't around for the spray. indika tells me its making him all emotional. should go and see. and try not to cry. 

aah, the wait draws nearer to an end...

and of course, go thora!!

go thora thamai. redda. anyhow, there's always next year...

now, back to the teg: a little progress over last week. the engine bay was painted, as was the inside of the firewall.

she is looking lovely!!

there's something about that white i tell you...  even the baases are like wow...

indika had also had the engine mounts and brake servo sprayed. the little details. good.

they're now starting to piece it back together. bit by bit...
