Well she is nearly nearly finished, so close Mads is itching to drive it.

Body work now finished.

The wiper motor as I think I mentioned before has been intermittent sometimes working, and then the use of a hammer to get it started. Today I removed the motor and linkage. There was lots of water in the bowl end and the magnet came out in 2 pieces and and half left inside the bowl. Another motor now needed. At least the list isn't getting any bigger and there getting simpler.

Also had to cut the pipes on the back box to fit some nice chrome tail pipes

She goes in on the 24th May for the timing belt etc and MoT proper.

Many Thanks

With the belt off change the water pump else they tend to leak.

Water pump does leak, after I fitted the stainless coolant pipes underneath and flushed the system it must have dislodged something. I'm glad it's done it now rather than when my wife is out and about and all of a sudden it overheats.

I was going to do myself but apparently it's a pain the backside.
