It's my fault. I ordered new wheel cylinders, new shoes, new flexis, put new hard lines throughout and the master was ok so I said "Naaaahhhhh..."

Christmas hold on buying parts. Want to get master cylinder and fuel pump rebuild set.

Washed and dried blankets and refit them. Will pin the back of the front one down to stop it flapping in the wind when the windows are open.

I do like the way they look.

Cold here recently, there was frost this morning. Limits the will to spend time in the garage.

Don't leave the blankets on the washing line overnight then.
