A busy couple of days at Norris Garage. Having looked after Mark’s previous TF, he had bought another at auction a few months ago, a TF 1.6, which had some gearbox issues. Mark left the car with us yesterday morning, so we set about removing the old gearbox. Whilst we were in there he wanted a full clutch replacement, plus uprated clutch release arm complete with grease nipple.
We noticed when we undersealed the car a month ago that his front lower wishbone had one heck of a bend in it! He had been experiencing handling problems, the car had just been through an MOT and 4 wheel aligned and no one had noticed. So, this was replaced too. Great to see Mark drive away happy this evening.
We also had another TF160 in, Elton had asked us to look at. Few things carried out; underseal, rear discs and pads replaced, cigarette lighter repaired, oil and oil filter change. Plus investigation of a rattle.
Our neighbours, at Black Sheep Customs, had also been asked to do a ‘custom repaint’ on the hard top whilst we had the car (pics to follow, looks fab!) Everything complete and ready to be collected and swapped out with Elton’s newly acquired TF Stepspeed for some work, which will also be having some paint work done next door.
Nice to see Rodney today too and welcome him to the garage for a cuppa, as he had come over to collect his things from our neighbours, plus pick up some wings we had got for him.
