I know Ive a ton of stuff to do, but I don't think Ill be doing anything before Transitmania, but I was itching to tinker when I got home from work So I decided to fit the new drivers door lock tonight, along with the internal handle, surprised it only took an hour... Think I need to get some stainless screws in the new bits, lets it down a bit. Oh well, almost satisfied :roll:

Fitted my Magnecor leads a couple of weeks back Robbie, but the problem with the cologne is, the dizzy is at the back, so you don't see much of the leads :roll: but yours will look the part on the Essex 8)

Had some stainless delivered today, some crusty looking bolts around the door fittings had to go... Just little things that have been bugging me for ages.
