Excellent said car is finally getting the restoration she has long deserved. The wiper mechanism might need adjusting. I remember driving down form Thurso one January in a Snow storm over Drumochtor Pass. My right hand out of the drivers window with my fingers on the edge of the windscreen. The drivers wiper kept sliding of the screen,! and then not returning!. So by the time i got down to lower levels and the snow had stopped, my hand and fingers were literally purple blue!. That was a memorable journey. Funnly enough wipers worked fine in the rain on lower levels!

That is a bummer about the paint shop. At least the car will be getting finally restored or work statred on her restoration. I was thinking about said vehicle recently. Lot of memories attached to said vehicle this side of the wall!. A great many actually. Still spilt milk and crying etc etc.

When it gets back to my barn the engine will be removed and all suspension removed, cleaned and painted

Well it's been a year since this car was moved to Mal's barn and it hasn't moved an inch since.
So this year it will be coming back to my barn eventually so I can continue with it as it doesn't now look as though it will be done by the paint shop who offered so spray it for me.
Shame really but there you go.

Windscreen rubber doesn't get fitted these days, on checking the front bumper mounts I found them a bit rusty and useless. The bolts also just turn in the holders so thats scrap. But I did found in the glove box a missing rear arch trim

1980's alarm will be disconneted and binned.
Door now on and checked gaps.

[Jeff Turbo]

French made. Wires gallore, upgraded radio will be going in

[Jeff Turbo]

Bit more done this morning and it's now finally ready to be moved
The nearside front door wouldn't line up so I had to remove the dash. I'm replacing it anyway as its cracked in many places.
Note, different wiring, also note no speedo cable etc just lots of wiring.
Cassette holder looks ace so will be keeping that

[Jeff Turbo]

Rear screens removed and not broken and not too bad on the rust.
Car is now nearly ready to be transfered to Mals barn then re-transfered to Mike. All parts are either in the car or will be transfered with it.
My blue digidash will be swopped with this one so I can continue working on it
