What a lovely colour combo, can't beat a personal line interior. Good luck with it, sounds like a good one.

Hi all.

By popular demand here's a few photos:




She came with Comet wheels which I've taken off for cleaning. I reckon she looks good on Unions. What do you think - leave her on the Unions or go back to the Comets .




Here's the sole advisory from the MoT:




And under the bonnet.

Interestingly she already has the rubbers on the wings.




One of the inside before the vacuum got to work.




And the last one for now.

Someone obviously had lots of white spray grease for Christmas and wanted to give generously .



Cheers all.

Andy.

Well done Andy, looks nice. Not my old one then.

Personally prefer the unions (had them on mine).

Hope to get a closer look at your new acquisition soon.

Suspect it came from the factory like that Andy as all my hinges were also coated similarly the day she came off the production line and still are tho not quite as messy as yours

Looks nice and shiny now Andy.I think it was a petty advisory on the mot tho.There are many miles waiting to be done in it.

Had a rummage about today - as you do.

Replaced the PCV filter (see here: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=308555

Had a look at the air filter while in there:



Doesn’t that look nice .

And something that’s not so nice:



Not truly dreadful but still needs attention. Almost certainly the manifold will need sorting as well. Still recorded 0.37 on the MoT test.

It would have been a doddle at a Nano but those aren't happening until next year at the earliest so I sense a trip over to Arctic........ .
