Enigmatic?
Sums up most teenagers I reckon. I was much worse .
When I started this restoration I made a list of jobs to do. Easy really
I made many more lists over the restoration. A couple of months ago the list looked like this...
We worked our way through the list and crossed stuff off as we went. The carpet arrived from East Kent Trim and was glued in place. Very hard work to get it to fit without too many wrinkles. The retrimmed seats were installed. They are the tilt forward types and the mechanisms were really worn. I has to remake the guide peg at the front with a thicker piece of steel...
...and make the slots bigger to accommodate these.
Joe and Mel (both enigmatic) tried them out.
The mirror/ light unit were fitted with one if Davids lens' and a COB LED. Works really well
Time was running out for the Billing deadline so I took this week off and booked the car in for an MOT at the end of the week. This made me focus on MOT work and leave the cosmetic stuff until later.
A new list was produced with MOT work on it.
Then another:
At 8:30 last night I realised I had still not made the mount for the washer reservoir. I was going to attempt to make a copy of the original type like Mike (Droopsnoot) had but I was running out of time. I knocked this up out of some stainless steel I had. It will do for now ( and probably forever )
The work on this list was completed last night at 9:30 ready for the MOT today at 10:30 am.
So a nerve racking wait this morning then a tentative drive down to the MOT station. Thankfully the car ran straight, braked evenly, didn't over heat and....

....Passed. Without advisories.
I took Joe for a spin after school and we are both very happy.
There are a few leaks, squeaks and cosmetic things to sort and the valve train is a little tappety but the pressure is off.

Need to book Billing
