A long, but really good day, just got home, after starting off the day in Linby for some things on this fab looking TF 135 (in British Racing Green) …
New CAT and new Lambda sensor fitted as the car had just failed the MOT on emissions. The front brake lines were found to be showing signs of corrosion, so these were replaced. Rear calipers cleaned up and freed off. The re-test was due this afternoon.
Great to meet Ian, he has owned the car from new, that he bought to impress his then girlfriend and who has been his wife ever since! It’s always so good to have a nice story and history with these cars.
Some really interesting chats about what he does for a living, plus his interest in cars. One of which, we took a couple of pics of, an Opel Manta GTE in absolutely mint condition, complete with original seats. Date to be arranged to return to sort a couple of other things.
From there we trundled up the motorway to Rotherham, as Jo had got in touch about her fab TF 135, that is currently in her sister Maria’s care and who had unfortunately found that that the exhaust flexi section decided to give way, as Maria is relying on the car for her work as a carer we were glad to be able to get over and sort it for them. Lovely to see Jo, after such a long time and meet her family. Date to be arranged to return for a couple of other things.
A visit to the workshop on the way back, for a few bit and pieces, food shop and now home, tea in the oven and admin time ensues! – https://ift.tt/rexBEpa
