Health Check:
Without doubt, I am over the worst of this annoying cough, but it still refuses to go completely & lingers on.
So I have continued to avoid any car work outside, especially as the temperature has noticeably dropped recently.
One thing I plan to do in 2016 is to get back into shape, as being over weight & under fit has not helped my recovery.
A few years ago I actually completed middle distance triathlons (1.9km swim, 85km cycle & 21km run) in around 5h 35m.
But now the days of running a half marathon
before work seem long gone (no, really I did, although admittedly, just the once).

Back To Work… Back To Reality…
My other big news is that I started another temporary job last Tuesday, which should hopefully last until March.
With a bit of luck, it may also lead to a more long term arrangement, which would be a good thing for me.
It is with a small engineering consultancy firm and photos of my car build formed part of the interview.
( As I'd previously worked with one of their engineers, who pitched me as an accountant with a difference. )

Next Steps:
Even though I will have less time to spend on the car, I still aim to stick with my previously posted plan…
Phase 1 - "Home":
- Reshape the rear driver's side arch.
- Extend the rear inner arches to meet the body shell.
- "Seal off" the remaining gaps at the rear end of the car.
- Fit the internal cockpit panels.
Phase 2 - "Away":
- Triumph specialist help, including wheel alignment.
Phase 3 - "Home":
- Reshape the front arches and extend the sides of the body shell.
- Complete all remaining work required to get the car on the road.
Obviously, when all this will happened is another story, but lets just see how it goes.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
