Well as the weathers been so good I'm still in Wales ........ I just got a picture sent of my dads orange 1971 Dandy stripped down to the chassis, it looks a bit like when Phoenix was being rebuilt. It's taken a while for pops to get going with it but the weather was so bad last year he never got around to it, plenty of pictures will be taken and posted when it's done ....... if he finishes it in time he may bring it to the Dandy meet in August.

Re: At long last
Can't wait to see the photos Helen.
It will bring back memories of doing Phoenix.
Hope your Dad gets as much satisfaction as we did. If he needs any tips or advice just ask.

Re: At long last
Thanks Mark, he is having a great time and it's keeping him from under my mums feet may take a bit longer but at least it's been started and big style, everything has been taken to bits ...... he's 75 and has just got himself a job only 3 hours per day but since retiring he has been lost, he stayed on at work for a few extra years but decided it was time to retire, we got him the Dandy for something for him to do to keep him occupied but the weather last year prevented him having the inclination to get going with it. He's going to be working at the health centre as a janitor
