No - both are missing, I don't ever recall seeing them, I guess it got missed on the last MOT!

Put the battery on charge, too fecking wet and windy to bother
Need to borrow a garage off someone ASAP so I'm gonna ask my other mate who lives next door the where its parked up if I can nab it for a couple of hours to do the bulkhead welding
Today I will be welding if the wind dies down a bit and if I can get a bloody dry spell for a couple of hours, only need it to be long enough to cut and weld in 6 large pieces for the bulkhead
Footwells and inner bulkhead can be done when it's back together so I can shelter under the cab roof

Didn't plan on doing anything but drive it, but now I guess I'm going to investigate cleaning up my ignition barrel as my key won't turn. Searched the forum and the interwebz for tips, am finishing my breakfast and hopefully I won't have to phone the locksmith.
