Not the day I'd Planned

AM I was ready to tackle the Alpine jobs again, but a call from Harkstead put paid to that. Jumped into the SAAB and shot up there for a medical based morning.

I did get some time to leave the carpets in the sun before lunch.


They are getting drier.

PM was another run for Drugs to Manningtree.


At least the rain had eased off so I could take a classic. So life is not all Shit I thought. That done it was 4:30 so I re-started on the Alpine. I thought the glove box would be an easy job. I tried a single piece and made a template - but that did not work so I cut it up in to the three pieces it was made with.


Two of them looked like Kipper ties. Anyway that seemed to go OK ish.


The rest of the car got more heat treatment and is slowly drying out. If the weather turns a bit dryer I'll park it in the sun.

I returned to the horn and after trying to fit it several time realised 1. that it has shrunk and the metal plate does not fit, 2. that the wheel was put on the wrong way up - 180 degrees off. I might be able to reverse the fitting though...

However the door has sunk and is now catching too.

But generally after everything a day (well half day) moving forward.
