If it not one thing it's another - starting to recover from the shoulder injury and now, it appears retro have been hacked! I can only access this via business manager and the mobile is dead. We're trying to get this sorted asap but no idea what's needed to be done. Back in full swing soon

Morning all!

Still here, still working, still on light duties as this shoulder isn't easing. No heavy jobs right now but doing what I can to keep moving forward. This is slowing me down on certain jobs but Im not beaten yet!

There's a lot going on right now, and as always and as with all work, updates will be provided as and when they're available. I'm having to prioritise jobs around what I'm physically capable of right now to allow my shoulder to get better.

Today, I'm going to move some bits about and collect some parts while it's real hot as the AC is nice and working in this heat is not!

Peace people, and drink plenty today this is going to be a hot one.

Hello retro heads I hope you're all well.

I'm back in the workshop now playing catch-up after actually following doctors orders and testing the shoulder. Another couple of days of light duties and then should be back to service as normal.

I'll get updates to individuals as soon as worthwhile updates are available rest assured. Thankyou all for your patience , I'm on the mend and getting back into itm

PS - the biggest cause of injuries in older guys, is them thinking they're still younger guys. FACT!

A busy, productive, progressive week this week, a lot of movement on projects and managed a. Ouple of in and outs aswell .

Unfortunately, I've hurt my shoulder again (god knows how, other than a lack of youth) so today, I'm resting. And hoping the issue isn't a big one!

Hope you all have a good weekend and see you next week!

So, I've located my works mobile , which was difficult as the battery is.dead and I have none of my contacts numbers. I should have it back later today or tomoro so I'll be back on the phone as soon as it's back.

Some of what's happening so far this month, from timing belts, to radiator swaps, and complete rebuilds re-fitted to brand new 61 year old, new old stock carburettors found, supplied and fitted, and conversions going in and close to completion

A lot done, a lot still to do. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Almost the bank holiday folks, and it looks like it'll be a warm one.

A strange week this week - lots of background and admin stuff sorted and dealt with, lots of parts ordering and chasing and taking up an ridiculously large amount of time.

So now it's doors down and crack on - wiring faults to find, a clutch to change, radiator bleeding to perform and hopefully the correct flywheel to grab and whatever
else gets squeezed in .

Next Saturday is time to chill and grab a coffee when we have the first gathering at the new premises to celebrate a year here. Man that's flown by!

Hope your bank holiday is a fun one folks!

Today is retro Monday, as we don't work Mondays. We're in, the admin is sorted, and we're cracking on. A modern car MOT work first, get it out the way, then some of the bits we enjoy, oldskool. Hoping for a few heading home this week, watch this space !
