Funny you say that, I just tried to get a part shipped from within Canada here too, it costs more to ship it to Ontario than it does to ship to the US, or in this case, even Germany!!! WTH Canada Post!??!

Thanks Teamsawbelly... Long term plan is to make sure the engine is gonna go before I spend a LOT of time working on the bodywork, but I'm itching to start sanding and painting the smaller bits....

Hey, LTG
Any progress on the 112? Haven't seen an update in a while. just curious.

No, unfortunately, my life generally gets busy around when University students head back to class.... THS year, I've been in "September" mode since about the first week of August.... Between that and LTGal pulling a whole bunch of extra shifts, 'cause we need the money...which makes me Parent-in-charge for LTBabe...and her older sisters (who I can sometimes get to babysit for me) are at their mother's house for the past 3 weeks... and LTBabe is going through a stage where it takes me, like 2.5 hours to get her to sleep at night... So I can't even tuck her in and then escape for a while to the garage... Even if I could, the POS baby monitor doesn't pick up all the way, 60 feet, out to the garage because of all the wireless networks in my neighbourhood... With all this, I haven't had a chance to get out into the garage for 3 weeks now... Well, and I took two weekends off to got to the lake with my parents and the kidlets... Couldn't convince anyone that I should drag tractors along...

MIGHT get something done yet tonight....

 

[littletractorguy]

Well, not EXACTLY tractor time

But related..... eventually....

Have had this sitting out in the garage for a month, waiting for me to put it together...

Started at 9, its now 4:30.... ALMOST done....

It came from the factory, pre-dented... great...

I spose I shoulda been sealing as I went along... It wasn't till after I had it all together that I found the three rolls of adhesive sealer tape... Except they never mentioned ANYTHING about doing that in the instructions, and the tape wasn't included on the parts list.... Hmmm... They also included a major big roll of Teflon tape, tho....

Hmmm... Dunno what THIS access hole is for... MOUNTING a light? This setup didn't come with a light, just a switch... Although there ARE two clamps, labelled Light Clamps, which bolt on to the inside..... Dunno what kinda light you can MOUNT inside a sandblasting cabinet, tho...

Don't quite know whether the seals go under the rings on the outside, or on the inside... Well, guess it doesn't matter... maybe

So, where does one get replacement/better gloves for these puppies? The gloves on this one are designed for TEENY TINY hands... And I already noticed some rips appearing in the arm pieces, just from trying them on once...

The little cleanout hatch is cool... Although they FORGOT to include it in the instructions... Good thing I noticed it, and wondered what it was for...

Still short two bolts on the glass frame, as I need to crawl in to put the nuts on, and have somebody else hold the screwdriver... Wow was the glass and plexi a pain to put in! And what's the deal with all the sheets of "protective plastic" they included? At least they included a spare chunk of plexi....

Time for me to tuck in now, since I hope to take it out to my dad's plant tomorrow to hook up to his big compressor.....
