I've just replaced mine, the 4 expanding rivets are easier to tap through, remove the fabric trim and you'll see them pop out.

Grandad will be working on sorting out his Axle bushes. :(

...and while i,m here, how many times have i warned you
about buying "slightly out of date" Shellfish from the Bullring.
Suppose the one consolation is your not carrying anything
contagious, least not in the throat area. :)
Have a good un all.

Wow! Fosse Park Convoy just got big. Woo hoo... Ok, we'll wait there till 12pm I think just to make sure so everyone really try to get there before hand... We might have to spill into the actual car park but its next to the petrol station so all good. I havent kept a tracck of who is meeting us so if you are coming and not running on time, text me! 07871 311 772

Anyway, have you all seen the weather?!?! Its amazing. Bit frosty at the moment but it will melt off my car soon....

Busy morning for me, got to remove more parts from the Sport, do a coolant flush on the touring and hopefully clean it as well :mad:

Oh and has anyone got an M20 alternator/power steering pump mount they could bring along?

Dunno if I'll make this now, for some reason I thought it was next week.

I'm halfway through a chrome bumper restoration at the minute, and the car isn't in the condition I was hoping for.

Will have to see how I get on this morning... :cry:

FOSSE PARK, if your still there is junction 21 of the motor way, come off and follow the road up to the round about, you'll go under a bridge before the round about too... Then you will see it as its the 3rd exit off the round about... Hope your getting this...
