Just thought I'd take it out for a a lickle 'tickle' 'round the block like, you know, before I tuck it up, all warm and cosy like, read it a chapter from the Haynes manual and give it a nice hot mug of Cassy R. cloud9:

Took the o/s headlight bulb out this avvy, as it's been going on and off on its own, a bit intermittent like.
The bulb terminals were all green, so i shined 'em all up nice, and it werks an absolute treat now.

Unfortunately, the presumably upside down o/s headlight bulb now lights up up the sky. redface:  whistle:

Going to RE-FIT the headlamp bulb tomozo anyway, in fact, I may have some higher intensity ones 'anging around in the   spider: corner of the garage, so I may upgrade instead. :thumbsup:

Then, rear anti roll bar rub down and paint, followed by a wheels off rub down and re-paint refurbishment. Thumbs:

Might have a go at fitting the electronic ignition module that I bought last year too. rubschin:

Be all nice and ready for its first show near Maccclesfield on Monday. cloud9:

These are the original 'sculptered' steel wheels, but the holes are slightly rusty around their edges, and a few rusty stone chips too.

I looked into doing alloy re-furbs, but every man and his dog (literally in one case of one of the mobile lads I know  lol: ) is doing it now, which is driving prices southwards. ::)

Were you mobby or static apey?

Funny you should say that, but I did actually have it by the front door...along with a few other 'implements'  whistle:.... when all the riots were kicking off over here nationwide and a bit too close for comfort one night here a couple of years ago.
