Well, though no news on the page for the letest three months, a lot of things has happened in the garage.
Together with Olav, my ex-painter friend, I have spray-filled the body, the doors and bonnets, grinded them, and sprayed again, before another grinding round. Now the body is as smooth as a newborn baby's skin, and it is time to think of putting some real color onto the now grey body. I have decided to paint the car Ginster Yellow, the same color seen on some new VW Polo's.

Ladies and Gentlemen; I proudly present you some pictures from the latest period:
 
 

	Yours truly to the left (with the videocamera...), and Olav to the right, looking at the result of the first spraying, and joking about all the grinding work ahead... I'm still not sure what the neighbour thinks of all the dust we have produced during the latest weeks, not to mention when we will paint the car yellow. On the other hand; we may just cover their doors and windows, and hope that the car's color will match their house's...
	Olav in the background, putting on more filler to the body...
	...and grinding it away again...
	The Tristan Convertibe 1961 Triumph Herald 1200, bought because the wife and kids liked it! OK, I admit; I felt for it, too ;-)
	Nearly unmarked interior on the old english aristocrat, apart from a couple of scratches in the drivers seat.
	Hmm, not so pretty with the hardtop on, though... 1147 ccm 42 BHP 1961 model nearly rustfree original condition, but will be rebuilt with disc brakes to improve braking capabilities
