:grin: Bank holidays have been spent working, i've been really busy the last couple of weeks and the next two are going to be even worse! I've got my dissertation due in on the 13th so after then good progress will be made.

Currently 1 wheel is finished and a second is stripped down and ready to sand. I need to get a move on though because my tyres are getting close to being illegal and I don't want to have to put new tyres on my current wheels and then have to swap the tyres to the new wheels :rolleyes:

Swap the front wheels for the back wheels if you want to prolong their life.

Yup! I'm just finishing my teacher training year, so loads of marking/planning, also it's coming up to exam time for my Y11/Y12 pupils. That's on top of the dissertation which I have to write, so although i've only been in work for 3 days in the last 24 i've spent almost all of my free time working :cry:
