MOT booked for this Saturday!!
Just brake lights to get working (they did, but don't anymore) and adjust up handbrake which should firm up the pedal.
the wee lad has been busy, but it's going 'stripped' as no door cards, carpet etc yet.

Hot news; he passed his driving test!!
... but MOT cancelled as new master cylinder isn't pressuring up properly, so back brakes not working properly.
Seal kit ordered; frustrating.

Mot passed! One advisory on steering rack boots too big. Was a brand new rack with boots, grr ....
The wee lad is insured and loving it but still got to get door cards, carpet etc once any leaks have been ironed out.
Photos not very good on phone.

Oh, and that was Saturday. Had to change the orange clutch seal yesterday as it sprung a leak.

Time flys when you are tinkering!
The wee lad has been busy fixing various things including a slipping clutch, and made a small start on the interior.
Bought door cards, dash covers, rear seat covers etc from Optimise so that will be going in over the Christmas break.
These are my two favourite photos, one with the wolf race wheels we borrowed for the mot which looks like it could have been taken in the 1970s, and one with the lovely astrali wheels.
He is a lucky boy!
