Scott,
I see you finally figured out why I do not feel bad about farming out some of my
work. Not having a family and working only one job, I have a lot more time than
you, but still not enough to do all the work myself. So I farm out things that
are not time-money effective for me to do, or that I can not do well. So I
guess the once and future TR3 is a combination wrench and checkbook restoration.
I am glad to hear that you will be getting your green beast back into shape. I
thought it very sad that you were unable to enjoy it when it means so much to
you, but I understand your priorities.
If you find youself doing little parts of the job yourself though I found a
place that you might want to know about.
Santa Cruz Metal Polishing
2535 7th Ave (Soquel exit from #1)
Santa Cruz
95062
477-0527
This guy does metal polishing and bead blasting for extreamly cheap. Something
that would take me most of a day with my little rig, he can do for under $20.
His bead blasting goes many times faster than my sand blasting. I can not
afford not to have him do this for me if I want to have a life & make headway.
He works noonish to 8Pm Tu->Fri & noonish to 6ish Sat. I know its a ways to go
for you, but you could combine trips with pleasure. The Home brewing Club is
next door. There is a fresh pasta Italian restrant in Northern Watsonville
(same corner as Watsonville Orchard supply) that you NEED to review.
I'm very glad that you decided to get your tourer touring again
