I'm the invisible man. Incredible how you can see right through me.

Well, a short visit tonight in preparation for next week's move across to Shropshire for some much-needed repair work. The rear number plate is back on, so I'm legal again. I also decided to replace the rear reflective marker panels since on A roads and motorways, moving at 40 mph in the dark or in poor visibility doesn't strike me as fun really, so any help in being seen is needed! Also, as 326 will be preserved in Op Fresco livery and they were already fitted, it keeps it in the condition it was when it left service.


The old and new - the older below, past their best and slightly faded:

That's better!

I also whipped the spark plugs out and cleaned them yet again (though not before I had to invest in a decent socket set as they were tight in...) - totally sooted up after the delivery journey and a couple of hours running to the extent she was almost mis-firing on the run out last week! Sorting the mixture and timing out is a must!!

I then messed about really, and tried the front vents, including the footwell side panels that had been painted shut and obviously not opened for a very long time! You can see the paint on the picture so a screw driver was needed as a lever:

Anyway, that's it now really - the next visit and run out will be to head to Shropshire next week!
