Cool!
I have some work to do on visors, too. The left one flops out of the roof - the drivers side, the little plastic door falls off. I ordered a drivers side one up on the 'bay and was asked to send a photo to make sure I'd get the right one. Still not sure how I feel about that. 🤔

Went for an mot this morning, came home and polished the headlights as I’m ashamed to say it failed on poor beam pattern.

It’s only taken since last September to get her back on the road, replaced engine, new belts and all the associated bits, engine bay painted while it was empty.

Now to start ob the interior and cleaning up the paintwork..

Nice to see she's back on the road. Well deserved after all the time and effort you have put into her

Hopefully just means they will use that to get correct colour and side... they certainly seem to pop up regularly but with massive difference in pricing that’s for sure.

Had new anti roll bar bushes fitted, an inner tie rod and 4 wheel alignment done. ARB bush was a little worn Hopefully that will cure an elusive knock that has been difficult to diagnose.
