Simon drove down from Kilwinning at the weekend to leave his TF 135 (in FAR) with us.
Before we got cracking with that we headed over to Slaithwaite on Monday morning to fit stainless underfloor coolant pipes and carry out a minor service on Jill’s TF 135 (in LQW). We didn’t see Jill on this visit as she was away working. All done and sorted for her and just in the nic of time before the heavens opened!
Work then commenced on Simon’s TF, all 4 sill corners required quite a bit of welding. The whole of the underside was given a good sort, with everything required to get it back to rights. Chunks of old underseal removed on the subframes and rust cured. The wheel arch liners were in a bit of a ropey state with splits and cracks and not held in very well, which were catching on the tyres. Replacement ones fitted from our stock. We gave her a bit of a wash and clean up today and are pleased to say she’s looking a little better and all ready for collection on Monday.
We had another visitor from Scotland on Thursday, Robert drove down from Glasgow in his TF 135. The heater control valve appeared not to be functioning, but on inspection it was the outer casing that had slipped, all now sorted and full heat in the heaters again. New alternator belt fitted while he was there, as his was squealing a bit.
A real shame I was feeling crook and didn’t get to see him and go out for tea, all of us, as planned. Sorry, Robert, you had to enjoy the delights of Market Weighton on your own! Will make it up to you next time. Enjoy the rest of your road trip, and your night in Hawick tonight. (Thanks for letting me pinch a pic from your archives with me not being there to take a new one). Have a great run back home tomorrow morning.
Steve came over from Hull to leave his MGF 1.8 mpi (in CMU) with us on Thursday evening. So this morning we carried out the minor service and took it over for the MOT. We gave the car a bit of a clean up too as it was a bit of a muddy road to the estate this week with all the rain, now all ready for collection on Monday too.
A productive week, even though I ‘milked it’ yesterday, (ha you knew I’d get that in Jon 😆). A ‘no show’ yesterday for a check up on a ZR, just hope all is OK.
We look forward to greeting Adrian and ‘Pearl’ at the workshop in the morning, for a couple of things, as he heads up to North Yorkshire for a run over the weekend. The van will need a re-stock and prep for next week too. – https://ift.tt/jluVTDG
