Put everything back together then realise front arb was on upside down, doh, all off again to swap.

Feeling knackered today. But work must go on.
Gahhh I hate "those" days when you set out with good intentions but every nut and bolt seems to want to **** it self



On a positive note, spoke to Mr Moulson he is sorting bits on Monday! yeey,.. now to sort out a "small" cleaning kit for Germany and my box of tools/bits and bobs and I am ready! ....hmmm how many buckets should I bring?

I am proper knackered after that last few days on car, I can start to see the light now, but now need to sort out breakdown and insurance. lets give Gary a call.

car booked in for Geo and a brief corner weight session to get me by, arches rolled to death last night to get 888's under, not the best job, but then the rest of the car isn't exactly tidy at the moment, will have to revisit bodywork once I get back.

Got my Euros today, also got through to Moley after just THREE rings of the phone! Top stuff as always from Gary, makes it so quick and easy so thank you to him for that. Tomorrow I'll be putting petrol in, cleaning it (do it once every couple of months whether it needs it or not) packing, quadrupley checking I have everything and printing off relevant items. Bet i still forget something....
