Repairs and more decals
So with the start line creeping up on us (approx 7 weeks to go!) today was spent doing some minor repairs as well as a few more decals. Managed to get the car booked into the workshop at work for an EVC (express visual check) where it was deemed ready for the 1700 mile journey we are going to subject it to - minor issue with the rear shocks but nothing to worry about, also required a rear bulb replacing. So a trip to Halfords resulted in purchasing a can of tyre-weld (always useful, and on offer!), WD-40, and a fibre-glass repair kit to fix the hole in the floor. With an able assistant in tow - Claire - we both set about more scally scarring. Claire decided that along with painting the wheel caps she would also go about playing with more decals. Meanwhile after playing with aluminium mesh to cover the hole in the floor the fibreglass came out to fix it. The smell of fastglass resin filled the air and took me back to the days of fixing my first cars!! soon the hole was nowhere to be seen which means that Tubbs' arse will be ok for the journey!!! So we are nearly there, have made enquiries for the insurance and just waiting for the official handbook to appear.
