Front and Back - plus lots of shuffling

Started on the SAAB first thing as James was going to borrow it for a few days. I started by cleaning out the boot and the mess the manure had left it in.


Then moved to the front and did the water - none needed, Oil - about a litre needed, washer fluid - about 5 litres and finally did the tyres - all ok but I gave the rears a bit more air.

Then I cleaned the bubble floor where the Talbot and the Ferrari had dropped. Next was the Imp - I had been meaning to clean it for quite a while - so it got both a clean and a wax.


That came up well, but I need another go later to find the bits I missed. A little jaunt to warm it through and back into the garage it went.

Next I took the Alpine grill to pieces. I had to cut off several of the small nuts and bolts as they were rusted on but it will give me better access to spray it again.


Then I took the SAAB out to pick up James and hand him the keys. Felt a bit odd. After lunch to put the top box on. After moving the Aston and Talbot out. The Talbot started after a few goes but roared into life when it did.


Then we moved the Alpine hard top into the bubble ahead of taking it down to Lee's - which I can't do as I have just given James the SAAB. Odd to see it drive away - as if someone had bought it.

All the time the Aston had been waiting patiently [getting more dusty and covered in leaves] as had the Talbot in the car port [keeping clean].


It fits very well so I might box that one in to make a garage for it.

Finally Talbot around the block in the late sunshine.


I did notice it is still dirty underneath and the wheels need more of a clean. Oddly two people let me go in front of them as I turned out - one from our drive and another at the Brantham junction - Class I thought !
