Today I took up an offer of 17 free spanners on a local recycling site. Most are seldom used duplicates, but they included a holy grail chrome vanadium 10 and 13 mm!

Morris is home.

The exhaust was blowing, it turned out the heat shield is welded to the exhaust box and had pulled out leaving holes. Now the holes are welded up and the heat shield rewelded on.

Also the rubber driveshaft U/J was replaced and it is a happy little car again.

Delivery day!

Back 18 months ago I got a message to say did I want first shout on a Discovery 1 needing new front inner wings welded in and the interior reassembled. I could not help myself with memories of a black V8 I used to own. Part of the deal was to get it gone quickly so I am very sorry @Andyrew it has taken so long.

Andyrew has done an amazing amount of work to it, the rear floors and seat belt mountings are all done.

The inner front wings need doing and it come with panels. The rear interior is out of it and need refitting.
