    Got a stone crack in the bus windscreen this morning. Fortunately its a relatively modern laminated screen and the crack is not on the swept area of the screen. If it was the old toughened one it would have gone completely... stuck some glass glue in it.

    Then I discovered I will have to use my bus as my daily :) for the next fortnight as my wife snaffled my car cos she forgot to book hers in for MOT in the garage. It expired today.

    And they are so busy it will be 6th April when they do it.

    And I am not going to Volksworld but will be sitting in the rain in a RIB for 2 days.

  6. Stripped all bolts out of springplates and added copper slip before replacing. Over Easter going to sort rubber donuts but wanted to make sure I could undo bolts at last (soaking in Wd40 regularly helped ). May order new M14 nuts though and hope they are standard thread

    Went to visit Clem and see how the welding is progressing.

    He is currently residing happily in the good company of about 20 Beetles and a Fastback (I think).
    Not much more to go on the welding front, and then hopefully a splash of 0range if the price is agreeable, before coming home in time for techenders
     
  12. I opened up the garage doors this morning to take it for the first drive of the season, started 1st time and drove like a dream.

    I have a week off this week so intend to pamper the old girl. A good clean and make all the locks fit just the one key is on the cards.
