Was that a metallic green late, like 82? TS

Door fixed itself overnight. Woo!
Today was move day. Mr davidfowler2000 arrived at my flat at the exact same time I arrived home from work at around 14:40ish, his steed of choice was his Volvo V70 T6 AWD and a massive trailer was attached to the rear end - An ideal towing rig.

Within 30mins the space on my street previously occupied by a Dolomite didn't.
Now, loading a non-running car with an engine in the boot onto a tilt bed trailer on a fairly narrow one-way street could have been an utter fuck about. Inexplicably it was easy...
By parking the trailer facing downhill at the bottom of the road it was at a much gentler angle once lowered and with a couple of feet to get rolling before hitting the skids the Dolly simply rolled on via gravity.
The resulting combination was both aesthetically pleasing and very long...

The drive to the workshop was uneventful, the Volvo would still out-drag the Acclaim despite towing a car containing two cast iron engines...
Once at the workshop minor poking was done and the quality* of prior repairs was admired.
GingerNuttz's assessment of the bodywork was something along the lines of "pretty good overall" The real work was scheduled to start on Saturday but he seemingly couldn't stand seeing one of the rear doors full of wob so by mid afternoon today it looked like this...

Halfords are about to discontinue Brooklands green aerosols so I'd snap a few up.

Towtastic combination there.

I confess to being slightly disappointed not to see a brown rectangle where the Triumph had sat....Not even an oil slick! This is all good news, though, and pleasing to see.

Is it bad that it doesn't look any worse than when it was complete to me?

I liked the crank & big end on FB too.

I have videos of the play in them, it's great. I can't currently be fucked doing a proper post as I've done a 6 hour day on the car with 40 mins of driving on each end and now I have to build a fucking desk...

Enjoy the desk, it sound a relaxing* saturday evening.

Up bright and early tomorrow for more of the fucking same
