Been a while since my last
update on the restoration of the FHC. And there has been a very good reason for
that, as there has hardly been any progress to report. Lots of reasons for that
but luckily none related to the car itself. Mostly by a few interesting
projects at work like this one for Trade Port Noord Venlo ...

But also taking up one of my
other hobbies more seriously, playing the Trumpet. And as I received a nice and rather unexpected bonus
from my employer earlier in the year I decided to invest part of that in a new
trumpet, custom built by local instrument producer Adams. Which means I am currently putting
some extra time in practising to get
back to my old level, while waiting for the trumpet to be finished ...
Then there was the search for a new daily driver, but that search has ended recently. And finally we had a spell of very hot weather which stopped work on the FHC completely. But there has been some progress with the paint preparations, the final sanding down ...
But as a result of the long
period that the car had been standing, some faults appeared underneath'. Turned
out that the sealant needed some extra attention and some new paint ...
With the holidays upon us now the final painting will probably take a
few more weeks. So we'll have an anniversary :-)
