Dead Skin 
Greetings! Apologies for the lack of recent updates, we are getting ready for the tricky stuff, suspension overhaul and de-rustification. New rear bumper centre section is on! Thank you Jonathan. Have begun R&B (not the music, but Rust&Bog investigation. Boot lid off, starting at the back and working forwards :)

Cool days 
Horray for daylight savings! More light means more garage hours. We have overhauled the cooling system somewhat, radiator and water pump removed, checked, refurbished and reinstalled with new gaskets and hoses. The thermostat and radiator cap were a rusted mess so have also been replaced.

We gave the fan a new coat in its original colour.



Water pump cleaned up



Radiator flushed and rejuvinated



All back in one piece!

Small Things Small Minds 
A week of small things, but nice things :-)

No more holding raw thread to change gears, the dodgy 8 ball has arrived.



New but still noisy exhaust.



Restored plates...



Cleaned up interior rails and new screws.



Replacement door strap on!

Part and Parcel 
New parcel shelf in (thank you Chris for the accurate cutting). At some stage the trim below the rear window will have to be replaced, but may as well wait until the windows get popped pre-painting.

More cleaning 
New tail light lenses from overseas, and surrounds from Jonathan (undergoing rust treatment - hence tape around edges).



Rear seat after a hit with the clean stick



Ditto on trims, new fastening screws under window and door straps.
