It is time for another update. Our goal today was to remove the dashboard and starter motor so that they could be refurbished. We started with the dashboard since it looked to be a more involved job and it was going to take a while to figure out how it was held in place.

Other than that it's going well, using it to lug shit over to work on the Dolly. MOT is at the beginning of November Acclaim Running the commute as usual. Need to adjust the handbrake. MOT due at the end of November. I've further defiled it's basey goodness by fitting head restraints, so at least a 15mph shunt won't decapitate the occupants. Doloshite Engine. At it on Saturday. Me and @GingerNuttz had

I'm not a professional detailer, but I think I can call this an improvement. Regarding the gearchange...here you go. Neutral. 1st. 2nd. 3rd. 4th. Reverse. With a bit of luck I should be able to drop it back off tomorrow afternoon, though it's looking like it's going to be a manic day so that may well slip to Tuesday depending how the morning unfolds.
