I restored this park bench last fall-winter (wow, look how long the shadows were when I took these pictures!). We had bought it at a junk shop 5 or 7 years ago, and the wood finally died last summer from exposure to the sun & salt mist. Bought new teak boards at a local lumber yard, sanded and spar varnished the wood, painted the cast iron, bought new SS hardware, reassembled. A pretty simple project compared with an e9, and one that requires no registration/insurance/garage space.

Not really "while not working on the coupe" but more like "while waiting on the coupe".

Too much time

I have a Honda RC30 which was in need of a strip down and tidy up; nearly there. Built a skiff to row on the lake I live on here in Queensland, shown in the pic. I've since switched to a surf ski which I find more challenging and a lot easier to jump on and go, you can just make it out under a cover at the bottom of my yard. I'm in the yellowish place.
