Well satisfied.

Get in home fully refurbished Serpents alloys. The way as it must be done - sand blasting machine, base, paint...
Next week will buy Uniroyal Rain Sport III 225/45/17 and will fit them.

Fit chrome windscreen washer jet covers

Changed engine oil & filter, added Bardahl Full Metal BAR-2007

Scrubbed the second half of Mo's new cream carpet. Will hoover it when dry.
Still got the sandstone leather gaiters to put on the plastic foot for Mo's new handbrake sheath, and gearstick. Maybe tomorrow.

I`ve read plenty of feedback mainly aimed the UK sources - you are the experts in wet road conditions.
But what are the most dangerous road conditions everywhere in the World during the warm half-year deserves to comply ?

The wet ones. During the rain, especially at the beginning of the process.
Recently I took my decision for now on - the tires on my cars should be the best for wet conditions - UNIROYAL RAINSPORT III - 91 Y FR - over here ~£64 each (225/45/17`). Winter ones are Continental Winter Contact TS 860.

fitted to a 15`s

Finally got the lovely real wood dash in and what a difference!! Also finished the MOT work and a guy nearby has welded the damaged sills for me. So fingers crossed, my car is booked in for her MOT re-test next week and I would dearly love to get back behind the wheel for another year!!

Had ‘marmite’ mot’d today. All good as expected but the emission results were quite impressive and well under the maximum limit.
