Default The new steed
As we know this is probably the cleanest wagon in the country and a credit to its former owners. Its all mine now!




so as sad as it was to see the blob go today its place is nicely taken by a very fine wagon

Round and round we go. Ron's moving away from Polegate soon so the wagon needed to stay close to me (within 5 miles)!!

The wife took it to work today and really liked driving it

Anyway front tints were checked and are illegal so need to consider whether they stay as they suit the car and are very well done

I took the front tints off Tim. Whilst they looked quite good I found they restricted my vision at junctions etc and was always buzzing the window down, but then I suppose I'm not used to them. Mine where medium though so quite dark. I left the back doors and windows though as they look cool.

I've hardly driven it yet matt! Been working too much. I'll give it a proper going over at the weekend. From the test drive with Ron it's a peach. About 330 brake in a classic is good fun

Took it out for a good run today and love it already.

I've de stickered it (there weren't many anyway) washed it last night and had more if a poke underneath to see what's what.

Still struggling to find anything to do to it!

Bonnet might get a respray if I'm being ultra picky and will look into a 2 pot upgrade for the rear brakes but that's it so far!

well a light modding has started already.....

Bought some rear two pot calipers today from midlife (thanks), they come with grooved discs and the brackets to get them to fit to mine.
Just masked them up and will be painting them when the paint arrives in the post in silver to match the front alcons

the discs have anti rust stuff on at the moment
