It's the safest way when Guy and Chuff are involved.  :grin:

a successful day, without any real dramas

Old pipe off




it didnt look too bad until you get up close



so that was all refitted, just need two new screws to hold the filler neck in place

Next up, i turned the engine over by rocking the car in gear, and it went over in 2nd freely enough,

so off came the battery and in went my spare - removed the battery cut off switch the last owner had fitted and cleaned up all the terminals, and after a few attempts the old girl fired up  :cool:

I have NEVER seen a Happier Mr Tona  :grin: :grin:

so off she went outside under her own power





and had some lush steels fitted to roll on whilst the Alloys have a quick polish  :smug:

Then it was time to get her up ready for the next job, lower arms and all new suspension



even got  someone getting their hands dirty  :laugh:



So, time for some new parts to be ordered, and a LOT more info required on " How to . . . "  threads in the MkI section

all in all a good day  :cool:
