Good morning buddy

Thank you.

Hope your weather is mild, we have 12’C forecast today.

I like that.





Missed posting this pic at the weekend.

Removed these front stays from the frame.

Immediately improved the look.

Liking this.



Courier delivered the hole saw that Tool Station did not have in stock on Monday.

I was impressed with the service tbh. Not had an out of stock item delivered next day before.

Hole saw is for cutting through the firewall to allow wiring loom and grommets to fit through and close the holes.



Stopped at the local motor spares shop after work, on the way home at 5.00 and pleasantly surprised they were still open.

Always helpful, they did not have the rubber connector hose I wanted, but allowed me to rummage in the back store box of odd pieces.

Failed to find anything 63mm ID for the airbox, but bought a tin of brush on underseal to finish the body tub as well.



Got home and found the connecting pipe for the airbox to MAF unit that one of my neighbors had left, he is a builder and gas man plus a friend.

So a phone call on Monday to Tony saw another small piece of the puzzle come into play.



Day job work week is keeping me busy and knackered by end of day, so unlikely to find time to do little jobs at this point.

Roll on the weekend…………
