So, potentially two evenings of Austin 7ing awaits me tomorrow and thursday, so got the Chummy out for some tlc after tea. Gave it a wash and a grease. Unfortunatley found the propellor shaft boot U/S. Arse. And on the verge of fully opening. I guess its been on the way out since I've had the car and was probably the reason for the terrible vibration at 60mph. Thursdays night is a proper 'vintage' night so I'd like to take the chummy. Thankfully I have 2 boots in stock, and after about an hour and a half the job is done. I would have been quicker but the car still had tab washers on the fixings (now deleted). The U/S boot is an original style leather job which I have kept for posterity. Now full of fuel and ready to go to Pride & Joy Vehicle Meet at High Ercall tomorrow.
