So SLow

I thought I was nearly there getting the car out of the garage - but the brakes have become a nightmare. I couldn't get a proper pedal and couldn't find a leak anywhere. Due to the style of the master cylinder filler cap there is no pressure bleed that will fit it. So I had to be inventive. I drilled a hole through the centre of the cap and tapped a thread that took the pressure bleed pipe. I was really pleased with myself up to the point I put the system under pressure.

I'm not sure how many people have seen the statue of the little boy peeing into the fountain - but that is exactly what the master looked like. Brand new and the seals are gone. So seals are ordered and will be fitted this weekend.

All being well Mandy is going back to the body shop on the 13th August for her final finishing. After that the good stuff happens - roof lining - chrome - windows and MOT
