Not yet, she has decided to be a cowbag today. Think i need to replace the fuel lines next after two leeks after she was started for the first time in exactly three months! God i have missed that noise. Just the mot tomorrow now!! Down to the wire for Saturday!

 

[lisknik]

She is back!! Stressy day, late out the body shop, didn't get to Duncans till 11 am, mot at half one failed. Body shop didn't do the two small brake pipes. Just an hour to make them and get her back before half five. Good news is I have a mot sheet with no advisories! Duncan is an absolute legend!

Mate, I know Nick had 5 litres of Alfa 130 red cellulose paint some years ago - still has it if you want me to see if he doesn't need it any more, could be useful
