Run her up to temp this morning and the housing has stayed dry so I am going to call that good.

This + many!

I had an enquiry before Christmas of buying a proper old school village garage with 2-3 mechanics. It's constantly full, produces good revenue and people come from miles around to have their vehicles serviced, MOT'd, repaired...and it maintains a lot of classic cars.

I did think about this for...all of a few seconds. It came with no residential property attached [the existing owner will remain there] and thankfully common sense got the better of me. I remembered that "one should never marry one's mistress..." Far better to keep a mistress at arms length for pleasure only. If not, they become hard work.

Here, the window etching kit arrived. Now etched all four sliding windows and windscreen. Oddly, the etch did not take to the WIPAC headlamps...clearly [pun o_O] they must be plastic.

details! Where did you get it from? my memory is ****
 
@flat, apologies here - thought I'd posted in "what have you done on your 90/110/130..." thread. Instead I'm now looking like a thread hijacker o_O
 
Well it passed the MOT yesterday. No advisories. To be fair I have only done 2000miles in it in the past year, what with surgery that took almost 5 months to recover from, a new baby, a house move, and insane work schedules - I just haven’t been able to drive it lol

still pleased it passed :)
