Checked the tyre pressures at Sainsburys on my way back after filling up in the truck..... I thought I'd just check as it had been ages since I last did and these never normally seemed to lose air plus they are the sort of tyres that despite being at the correct pressures still have a bulgy bit at the bottom where youd think they dont have enough air in.
Fronts were at 29 rears at 39.....and they should be I hear you ask?????.......65 all round. Needless to say I now feel every bump and pothole in the road!!!

Yeh we removed that a pillar bit so that it didnt fly off on the motorway. 
Unloading it was great.....I basically carried it off the truck with me bare hands! ???? @BlankFrank will tell you more haha! 
Motorways were clear, stopped for a coffee at clacket lane, showery in places but just took a gentle meander over. 
I tried belting the rear nearside wheel with a lump hammer but alas no still stuck. 
@egg your a great guy mate it was nice to meet you!! @inconsistant thanks for meeting me at 6am this morning at Goldstone Fire Station with those bits ??

I always try to keep a working inflator at home so I don't have to pay 50p every fortnight. Also I can put in the cold inflation pressures without having to do physics every time with tyres being hot when calling in to the pump.
My News: oops.
See photo.

This place etc. Well done to all concerned.

I've never seen a photo of the 'good' side before. I must say, it looks about a million times for viable now than it did when it arrived. A decent engine and a V5 goes a long way to making it a worthwhile project. Let's hope Big Al will part with a door when he sees the new owner is actually making efforts to get the thing on the road. Well done @egg for doing your bit, and I can't wait to see how this progresses.

Indeed. Better than it arrived. And now it has an identity. I feel like I've done my bit.

Not too far. It should be fine, as it arrived that way too. I recognise the problem, but I was also worried about the A-pillar flying off on the A2. If we were in more relaxed times, I could have made a better solution. Fingers crossed.

Many thanks to @inconsistant and @Wingz123 this morning. It is on the way to @BlankFrank with the spare wheels....





No regrets! And a sense of relief....

This appropriately named travel guitar arrived as my invacar left today thanks to @Six-cylinder, @Andyrew, @inconsistant and @Wingz123. Cheers all!

Sorry chaps late because was working....I have replied to your pm @inconsistant
 

If you were able to meet bang on j6 tomorrow morning I could grab it off you but I'm getting to @egg for 7am so 7am would be quite early.... also coming back I will more than likely be coming the opposite way round the m25 dartford crossing way.....

So today's job was.....
Adjust handbrake and basically clean it to death! Done a little bit of welding last week, small patch on outer sill
It's ready but for the first time in 12 years I'm not so confident but we will see! Think it's on about 430k now or there abouts
I'm bored so thought I'd share!
