Nice to meet you too ... and we shall certainly treat him to a good tidy up. Hopefully see you again in Devon!

Right - rough plan of action!

1. Go over him with a fine tooth comb this weekend and make a list of things to do (in addition to the MOT fail list :lol: )
2. Sort out the MOT required jobs that I can do. Locate spares as required.
3. Trailer Baz down to Tim (who has already been given a heads up and is getting parts together).
4. Tim to complete welding & put Baz through his MOT (which he will pass :wink: )
5. Drive Baz home and over the summer complete the non-essential but desired jobs to return him to his former glory.
6. See whether I can afford a respray! Outside my skill set, so will have to have it done by someone else.

Progress and pics will be logged on this thread.
