On the road Monday

Today my wedge gets trailered to a garage to get the tracking set and then stored until Monday when its MOT day. Hopefully the fruition of two and a half years worth of restoration. I think I may explode before then. I will post pictures Monday night is all goes well.

If it doesn't fit you obviously need a bigger hammer.

Good luck - is the garage going to do a 'pre MOT' check for you before the MOT ?? Or have you arranged a 'free re-test' deal with them ?

...And drive it over to my place so I can have a darned good look at it!!!

Sam, you did really well sticking to your timetable - admirable; particularly as I didn't think you stood a chance of getting anywhere near it!

well done indeed at one stage i seemed to be on same timescale as you and tried to adopt a little every day however, i had to move my business so lost 2 months winding down and 2 months moving into new place the car has moved with me and i have only just created enough space to pick the reigns again i have car stuff packed up and stored averywhere. so as of today just took cover off its looking a little dusty so watch this space as i try to complete and catch some summer[:)] when it arrives. meanwhile i'll keep at it
