That's More Like It

A packed day, starting with a cold (only 6 degree) SAAB run to drop it off at Abbotts for the service and MOT. 


We'll keep our fingers crossed as the rust is a bit bad over one wheel arch and not that better over the other.

We picked up the garage lights on the way back and even made time for a de-tour via Harkstead for a job and to pick up the van. I also warmed the Talbot up to reverse it out to make space.


The afternoon was spent fitting those lights after moving the Talbot onto the drive - checking for leaks I spotted water splashed on the panel on the other side of the engine bay too, but no obvious drips.


I was temped to take it for a run, but thought I should investigate first and also get on with the job in hand. The first one was hard work - and a learning curve, but the second was fine. I moved the Alpine out next - the Ferrari will be back Thursday so I might as well pack it away until the Imp goes.


Two and a half hours later we were all done and boy what a difference.


I only used four lights (vs 6 old strip ones) but it is much brighter and whiter too. Now for the other garage ?
