And on it goes

I received samples from Jonathon Skinner (John Skinner (Manufacturing) Ltd http://www.john-skinner.co.uk) today and I have now got a match for the upholstery. I will  be going with the original dark green wool carpet and original grained stone covering with dark green piping these are all as close to the original as I can find. I think this will  set every thing off perfectly.



















I have had a couple of small problems and unfinished details to do as well. I couldn't get the wipers working at all so I got the motor out and found a jammed gear, that is now running well with no problems. I also needed parts for the crankcase ventilation pipe and new wiper arms with wiper blades, so I contacted Bob Yule at AutoFarm Ltd. (www.AutoFarm.net) for those parts as well as parts to refurbish the side curtains.  A few days later they arrived and now there are more things stroked off the punch list, which is getting shorter each week.





I still have several major things to complete (upholstery the biggest) but those will have to wait as the weather is good enough for another drive, and the road is calling.
