How goes the lovely Olga? Any updates Andy?

A sensible and well thought out plan of works there Si. The carpet might just be easier to bin and replace, highly unlikely to get rid of the accumulated odours tbh. The degrading foam on the headliner is a ball ache to do just by resticking. Take it out strip it down and scour off the old foam with a couple of those really coarse metal pan scrubbers will usually suffice, then make sure it’s dust free before attempting a refoam, etc. Anything else will be a bit shit.

Train stopped due to faulty points ahead. 20 mins until a team can get to it at least. Meh.

Well we crept out of Leeds station and promptly stopped, call for aid button activated. Possibly someone fainted due to extortionate pasty purchase.

I wish.
Leeds station contained real people.
Wee count: 1
Nearly bought a Cornish pasty until I saw the price…£6.99… fuck right off.
Now on a teeny tiny train to Brough, via some other places.

How goes it with progress on Olga?

Hmm. Option 1. MGF VVC in BRG, stripped, dipped and painted, stainless manifold and exhaust, new belts and clutch. Reconditioned spheres, refurbed and painted alloys, updated brakes, decent rubber, black leather seats, new floppy top and glass rear screen. Galvanised subframes and polybushed throughout.
Forgotten what happened to my green F VVC, seem to recall that it needed a head gasket and it was lying in a mechanic shitters yard. Probably scrapped by now.Option 2.
Triumph Toledo with a Zetec engine and suitable ‘box, leather trimmed interior. Updated suspension, trackerjack brake upgrades, sports exhaust, new headlights with upgraded wiring and relays. Dolphin Grey paint. Gunmetal painted MGF steelies. Black crinkle finished dash with cream faced dials. Fully polybushed. -

Do the bits. You know it will drive you nuts if you don’t. Soak everything in a mix of diesel and ATF for at least a week then have the heat to hand. You can do it.
