Well, what with all the bad weather and salt on the roads recently, i decided to give the old girl a wash and brush up. Not a full on job, that will come later when it warms up a tad, but for now keeps her looking presentable.
I have noticed that when it was in getting the pump done, the bonnet was removed and has been badly scratched and also the roof too where it looks like most probably the cardboard box containing the pump was put and then dragged off. Ill see what i can get out through machining it but not best pleased to be honest. I cant be bothered hassling the garage as its not worth the agro. "Wasnt us" etc, so i'll just do it myself. The engine bay has been spruced back up and repainted since its surgery left it looking battered and dirty
After taking these shots i went for a nice slow cruise through manchester city centre...I love the attention this car gets, at so many junctions i saw people turning round to look again in my rear view mirror....I do love this car
The first engine bay shot is an older picture as the one i took this morning came out blurry. The only difference is the overflow pipe from the coolant tank is now clear hose rather than the aged yellow one on here
