More about how this is unfolding later.
RE: Grizz' Prozac for the Soul - Berlingo Multispace - Grizz - 25-08-2019
£2000.00
Barn find
Parked up since 1983 in a real barn.
200 miles from me.
Not running. No guarantees given or implied.
Has rust at rear under seat according to seller (dealer)
What could go wrong?
Or what has gone wrong so far.
I like these a lot, always have.
Looking at it VS http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/209924/again-1954-chev-powerglide-door
Buying something in the USA that needs as much or more work, add in £2k shipping etc......?
Who knows anything about these, modifying, restoring them?
How badly do they rust in those important MOT areas?
I would have no issue with “modern” motor, running gear etc and sticking it on air, but keeping the patina as is.

Not patina look, is it ?

Just a bit of left field thinking.
RE: Grizz' Prozac for the Soul - Berlingo Multispace - Grizz - 25-08-2019
HBig boot fair today, only one but good stuff.
Bought a tall wooden cat for my garden for £2.00
![[Image: CB0B7A6A-C470-40AD-8F7D-97F9703221E7_zpsdsbpalq4.jpg]](https://s294.photobucket.com/user/niknakpix/media/France-Grizz-Goose/CB0B7A6A-C470-40AD-8F7D-97F9703221E7_zpsdsbpalq4.jpg.html)
Sally clocked a Mexican blanket over a cars bonnet, I know the lady sells weird, random stuff but always stiff, hardly negotiable prices.
So took a pic, texted @CraigRK to counter offer whatever she wanted via WhatsApp, and showed her the offer.....
She wanted £5.00 which he was happy with, but he texted back £3.00 or £4.00.
She took £4.00 when I nagged, I know she was not overly impressed, but Craig got a cheap blanket for Ouma LiL http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/190311/1947-chevy-fleetline-aerosedan-company
![[Image: 5B2C1F83-B21D-45D3-9EAB-9A63B813D609_zpsyhohbfmi.jpg]](https://s294.photobucket.com/user/niknakpix/media/France-Grizz-Goose/5B2C1F83-B21D-45D3-9EAB-9A63B813D609_zpsyhohbfmi.jpg.html)
Between us Sally and I bought quite a few bits.
One of two of my favourite things was this riding crop, clearly old.
Note the woodwork, it’s a spiral, cut from one piece. @50p it was a bit cheap, and clearly has age.
Same seller sold me a beautiful military swagger stick for £1.00 covered in very fine leather I wish I knew someone who would love it as much as me.

And as a “special treat” because I am heading to the USA next week, took Sally to Maccy D’s for breakfast.
Both of us on CCTV screen.

Then back home.
Next job, unpack and clean company car.
Remove personal stuff from Blazer. Potential buyer Tuesday.
Wash and hoover Prozac the Berlingo, MOT due 20 October so nice to have it clean for then.
Best part of the weekend......?
Public Holiday Monday.
RE: Grizz' Prozac for the Soul - Berlingo Multispace - Grizz - 25-08-2019
Bootfair follow up.
Cat found a spot.

@CraigRK and I took some time today to fine tune the road trip as well.
It has taken on a whole new life and personality with 4 of us in a truck for the first half.

Of course told him about Andy in Oklahoma.

Once we got home I gave Dennis’ prezzies from Uncle Bob a preliminary clean.
Inside was mucky as a mucky thing.

Dunlop dispenser is covered in grey primer.
Dennis will know what to do next.

All done.

What a great afternoon I had.

Bit behind here.
Monday was of course hot, sunny and a public holiday.
Sally had to work, so after bootfair, I took the Blazer and went shopping and driving it around with a friend.

Looking right at home.

When I got home, I had a coffee, then decided to go up to the farm to see if there were any good photos to be taken.

Then created a chicane outside my house for all the speeding idiots while opening the side gate.

Of course the farm is super dry, so the Blazer needed a wash.
I do like it clean.

And of course, in case the potential buyer, who messaged me on the 4th of August, that’s 24 days ago about buying it, did actually show.
Selling the Blazer has become a real BALL ACHE with so many d!ckheads and random time wasters.
Anyway, it needed to be clean.
Done.
