Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago someone drove into my 130GL while I was waiting at a junction. It was clearly the other drivers fault, but I didn't see the need to get angry as we all make mistakes. No body was hurt. We decided to sort out the cost of the repairs without claiming on her insurance, so I'm repairing my car with the help of my friend Mark, the bodywork/paint sprayer wizard that restored Rob's Rapid bodywork.
I thought while the rear panel was removed I might as well replace the timing chain which had become quite noisy, especially as part of repairing the accident damage included replacing the broken crankshaft pulley. The engine runs very sweetly indeed now.
