Week commencing 3rd July – tour the the west is nearing the end.
Day 5 – Friday – Hapton & Copster Green…
Our first call of the day was over to Hapton, which was a short hop from our digs in Burnley, where it was great to meet Paul for work on his fairly new acquisition of a TF 160 80th anniversary in paint code PBT. Already being an owner of a BRM he had fancied getting a TF. So he eventually came upon this one after a few attempts at buying it at auction.
Full cambelt service carried out for him, plus alternator belt, underfloor stainless coolant pipes replaced as his were a tad rotten. Plus, while we were there, he asked if we could replace all pads and discs as the car had been sat for many year without turning a wheel.
Date to be arranged to replace the wishbones and do a full underfloor treatment.
Brilliant day in Paul’s company chatting while we worked with a constant stream of cuppas!
We’re now in Copster Green, for replacement of two front wheel bearings on Maggy’s ‘Ophelia’, her TF 160 in paint code IAA. Well Jon’s doing that actually, while I’m doing the admin with some very good company. 🐾
The van decided to be a bit naughty and not want to start again when we arrived, but Jon’s worked his magic on that again. It’s a beautiful sunny evening and really lovely as always to see Maggy and Phil. – https://ift.tt/ILquk62
