Like Grandmaster Flash sang in the song "Jessie"….
'It's coming, it's coming, it's coming'……
Paints done, new hood on Tuesday lunchtime. Then MOT, clean of the seats and carpet, tax and maybe I'll be at All Types for it's first ride out….
But, I'm STILL looking for a genuine VW o/s wing in good condition. The pattern one isn't really cutting it and I'm not 100% happy with it.
Anyone help please????

Thursday lunchtime, The Man tells me Thursday lunchtime for a collection!!!!
It was looking pretty good when I saw it on Friday afternoon with its new hood.
As expected after weeks of rubbing and sanding and spraying, the interior (whats left in it) will need a clean as will the engine to get rid of the grime.
I've a few small jobs under the hood to attend to (new jubilee clips, cleaning etc) then its MOT and tax and a tow bar for the AGM!!!

Got a few jobs to do on it first.
