OK - I'll Take it off Again

Another Alpine day. Bitterly cold wind though so I decided to shuffle the cars around and work in the garage. So Imp and MK2 moved out of the way.

First job on the agenda was the tonneau pegs at the front to get the placement right. Er ... no way to do that unless the windscreen is removed. Oh well here we go again - well I'm quite adept at it now and needed to realign it anyway. I just strapped the windscreen wipers up out of the way,

So two hours later they were in - well mostly in anyway.

After lunch we refitted the windscreen and I got on with the rear pegs. So another hour down and they were in place too after some careful measurement.

Seems a good fit too - I could do with adding another peg or two and re-do the wrap around bits where the quarter lights go - but we're back in the game.

Then a much delayed Talbot run out too - around the block just to get her warm again.

There are only 27 years between these two - would you believe it ? 1933 and 1960. Finally a late night run in the Alpine to the RGEA meeting. A good turn out for April too and lots of kind words about the car. It did look good though.

Warmer than I expected - especially on the way back in the dark. Home at last and packed back in the bubble by 9:45. That was worth it I thought.
