Right...The story as it is....
Up at 4am, after going to bed at 1am, Oldbus, Alex and I went up to Branston to fetch the Anglia. Based on 2002Gimps 2 viewings, it was worth the asking money.
We were there at 07.05am, viewed it, and while Dave and Alex loaded, I did the payment and paperwork.
That done, we hit the road, had a great Full English brekkie on the M42 , at some services, and got home to my place by 11.30.
Offloaded the Anglia, drove it around the block while Dave loaded the car he had fetched,
At this time Nicola just got there, after fetching Dave a pair of lower suspensian arms and ball joints for the Capri that I had got him over in Hoo.
She was straight into Myrtle, and around the block, afterwhich we all had a brew, chat, relaxed for 10 minutes, before Dave and Alex shot off to Dover, and the texted me from Osnabruck b 9.30pm, home, safe and sound
ONCE AGAIN, A public thank you to Dave and Alex for helping me out getting Nicola's car home fast.
The car has done less than 20 miles in the last 3 years
Yesterday we took it for a 30 mile drive, and I have to say,she drives like a dream.
Today we spent over 8 hours valeting and T-cutting her.
Let the pics tell the story.
Note the rubber mats, cleaned in place, as they are soooo perished and hardened, half and half before and after.
Contortionists heaven.
Inside the boot.... how clean is that ?
Engine bay, cleaned up nicely.
I just love this dash.
Like a kid, all day.
The saddest part of the car, is that the chrome side trim is missing, seller thought he had them, when I got there he said no.
Electrical tape over the holes, removed, cleaned, and awaiting new tape with different design.
Anyone got a full set of trim to sell ?
T-cut on the front fender.... at this point it became apparant just how dirty and dull the paint was....
8.30pm, getting dark... just finished.
Note new "side trim" stickers.
