I find the loft a good space for relatively light bits - like bumpers etc...

Trouble is, my loft door seems to be one way only.

Those hatches are more common than you think - had a message last week to say some parts found in my mother’s loft - put there about 40 years ago!!!!!
I think a door for a Midget that’s still sat in my garage waiting to be restored!!!

Bumpers and waistline time now off. Still waiting for the rack to come back.

Number of nut and bolt bags is scary, I might have a few left at the end.

Very impressed by the paint product RUSTOLEUM. Getting some great results. Latest is the Header Tank. media blasted by Elite wheels, treated with some jenolite rust stuff then primed with the RUSTOLEUM. Top coat to follow. Wish I did a before shot.

Looking good. Now you can keep if from rusting on the inside by running Evans!
