More snow.

More snow on Thursday saw me taking my Morris to work, only a trip of 4 miles but it took over half an hour. Only used 3rd gear once, the rest of the crawl to work was in 1st or 2nd.

At work I had managed to keep most of the snow on the roof and wings, still worst to come they say. Saturday was bright and sunny but we hit a low of minus 13 over night by mid morning it had warmed to minus 2 so this weekend I will be doing indoor jobs.
The next item to tackle is the Wolseley dash panel, a nice looking bit of Ash or maybe Beech with bad varnish. Not so, its an early car so this is pressed steel and painted to look like wood.
How the heck to restore this?
We have a few ideas having looked at various "paint effects" sites on the internet.

Watch this space,  this is a job for the kitchen table in front of our log burner. I hope the weather is not too bad where you are.
Also if you have any spare items big or small to help a fellow J owner convert his J to a JB do let me know and I can put you in contact.
