shes going awesome, she was only in the crib for 4 days, once she was regulating her body temp properly she got out into a big girl crib :)

Shes just passed her planned birth date (18th) and shes actually just re-gained enough weight to be past her original birth weight, so all going well and she puts a bit more weight on and we'll be able to get her home!

in other news i've done absolutely nothing on any cars hahaha

but i have assembled a cot and baby change table :punk:

yeah it looks decent enough! the two in the above were actually metric (something i had left over) but i need to see if i can find imperial bits so i can do some other stuff on the car cause i dont really want to have to change to metric where its imperial already.

But the main reason i wanted this was for the engine cover on the bedford to screw it to the floor using them.

Despite stinking hot weather with dads help we got a good bit of panel work finished, the whole rear is now primered (needs a few more touch ups with some spray putty in a few spots.)

This back section was pretty fucked from previous owners rust repair (section below boot) but we did the best we could and used bog for the rest hehe :)

Even though it needs more work, primer makes it look so much better!

Next plan is to remove the diff and paint under the floor.
