Now that I've taken on the job of getting, and keeping, BSG 8 on the road, I'm determined to maintain a record of everything that I do. Dad did make a lot of notes, which have helped greatly. But they weren't comprehensive, and therefore there are a lot of unanswered questions. Why did he use such thick metal for the side-panels? What colour of paint did he use? Why did he tuck a lot of the controls underneath the dash (which made them difficult to use)? In creating this blog, I hope to make life easier for the future maintenance and ongoing restoration of the Fairbairn Family Singer 9. And I also hope it might be of interest to others - even if only to avoid my mistakes!Although BSG 8 moved to its new home in the middle of 2014, it's only now, in April 2016, that I've started keeping this blog. Therefore, for the next while the posts will be mixture of catching up with the last two years and recording current progress.
