Thanks Duncan, hopefully by keeping on top of things it will bear fruit further down the road

Tachometer overhauled by Tim Ingle at Speedograph Richfield Ltd. The unit had recently developed a mind of its own and was giving erratic readings.

New 17 inch rims masked ready for painting in original grey/green. I have been advised that the car has better road manners with the 17inch rims and lower profile tyres. I intend preserving the original 15inch rims and Dunlop SP's for shows etc. whilst using the new rims for general use and touring.

17 inch rim finished and ready for some rubber, I will be fitting 215/15 R17 to keep the rolling circumference the same as the 15inch 205/70 R15

The wheels look great but I can not help but think the tires will look dreadfull 15 profile sounds insane ????

Oops! Well spotted Duncan should read 215/55 R17

New rubber on the 17inch rims waiting to be fitted next week. After much deliberation we went for Yokohama Blue Erth-GT AE51 98W 215/55 R17's

New rims and rubber now fitted, a few more small jobs to be done and then hopefully some smileage to lift the current gloom

Back from Finch's after over winter fettling and just waiting for the day to play

Those wheels look smart.. enjoy, your notice a real big difference in everything about the car..

Andrew Finch dropped it back and said the same thing

During lock down discovered this damage to the drivers door whilst the car was garaged at home, i have not been able to able to establish the cause with any certainty but i have a partial admission from the wife. As a result the car was taken back into Finches where the door has been removed and taken to the body shop for repair. The body shop initially had supply problems with the lacquer and more recently matching the colour, I am hoping they can get an edge to edge match otherwise it gets more complicated.

Well I am affraid it is time to Kick Her Out Andy!!, You can show your dear sweet wife this and maybe she will get the drift Andy, say, "Dear, it's time, can you please do this">>>>, or if you find that too harsh then a quick & then and lastly.. Then we can all get back on track Andy and all will be forgiven
