Took the Austin to see a man about getting the steel panels of the fabric body painted once they have been repaired.
Spent most of the afternoon chatting to him while he showed me his Mk2 Lotus Cortina rebuild and the engine rebuilt to have an extra 60bhp.

Spent today working on the AllAlloyCup.
Fitted the body piping and made and fitted the alloy facing
that surrounds the spare wheel.
Also cut out the aperture in the boot and
set the hinges. Will fit the matching bootlid facing alloy surround
tomorrow.
Hopefully should finish the tail metalwork by next week.

While out in a Seven yesterday I detected some vibration at 40 mph so this morning I had a peek underneath & found the fabric coupling on it's last legs so I changed that, it's done less than 300 miles.

Sadly I just looked at my RP under its cover in the garage. All whilst I was 'supervising' the workmen putting up scaffolding ready for the solar panels arriving Thursday.
No time for sevening at the moment

The Ruby took me to work this afternoon (only a short trip over to Seaford about 8 miles to get there), parked on the seafront for about 30 minutes whilst I did my work, then off to see Forum Member Biddlecombe, who was working on his car and only a few minutes away. We went for a short drive in his car (which is looking very nice btw, excellent patina), had a fuelling issue (dirt) en route, then repeated the drive in my car with Biddlecombe behind the wheel.
I hadn't realised that the Ruby has less interior space than the car it replaced - when Biddlecombe pointed this out it was quite noticeable, I guess, the modern streamlined look of the Ruby came at the cost of interior space!
