    Just a quick update , Rhubarb is ready for the mot and has been for a few weeks , i am at the stage where i can chill and tickle her up at my leisure , i have set the first week in January as mot week as i'm off work and will be rearing to go after 7 days of gorging and slobbing .

    These last few weeks have been a pleasure when i have ventured out to my garage ( it has a pit you know , don't know if i've mentioned it before ) there are no pressing jobs , the cd works well along with all electrics , my propex starts at the flick of a switch and the engine starts at the turn of the key , i have to source a engine to tin ware foam seal and fit that and a interior light needs some salvaging with led inserts , there are other jobs but i am not under the pressure i was to finish them , sigh of relief .

    My aim now is to get her to a show where with a little fortune i can down a few tinnys with Para ,diddy , shelsy , zed , outlaw and morkc68 and any of the other guys on here who have been on the same resto carousel - fingers crossed that will happen this coming year .
     
  7. All good stuff dude

    Good luck for the mot
     
  8. So Rhubarb will be ready in January as Wilma's taken off the road, you'll have to go camping for us and post loads of pics :)
