Europa workshop on Sunday
Sunday Nov 10 starting at 9 a.m., I'll be working on the Europa. Bored, lonely, or, better yet, handy with fibreglass, come along and join the fun. I'm at 8620 Saskatchewan Drive, knock on the left garage door. If you haven't been there before, better google map the address as it can be a bit tricky the first time. Light refreshments and karaoke will be available.
As long as the resin is still wet, it will wash off with acetone. Once it's hardened, you're toast.
I have a pile of disposable coveralls, gloves and masks at hand.
When you all come, please go around the side to the back of the garage and knock on the double doors. That way we'll let much less cold air in.

Thanks everyone!
That was great. The Europa is now down and supported on its rear wheels. We put the engine and tranny in to see what needed to be trimmed with the replacement 5 speed transmission in place – quite a bit actually. Poor David arrived first and had to deal with a room full of fibreglass dust. Thankfully I have double doors at both the front and the back so it was easy to blow it all outside.
I'm still shaky on the whole fibreglassing vertical surfaces thing so I've more reading to do before next Sunday when we have another Europa workshop and hopefully end up with the front wheels in place and on the ground as well. I promise you David that I will have the grinding all done and the place blown out before you arrive.
Cheers!
