Luckliy, I had a new set of discs in stock.........so on they went.
Brakes now transformed. Smooth, progressive and no wobbles!
I then had to fit a towbar to it....... part of the agreement with the new owner. Got one from Canley's, rub down and 2 coats of black smoothrite......... one fitted towbar!
Bradley managed to keep himslef occupied by cleaning the interior........ he really has turned into a polisher!
We then went out for a spin, and then remembered I hadn't checked the oil level in the diff. Stopped at the local garage, bought some EP90, and chucked it in........... thanks to Dave for volunteering to crawl underneath and top it up!
Then we took the car back to the original owners....... Roy and Edith. They were amazed at how good it looked and how quickly we had got it done. I took them out for a little ride in it...... Roy was close to tears............... but, he was glad he had seen it finished, and that it is back on the road.
However, on the way home the fuel blockage reappeared again. On closer inspection, the tank was full of debris again!!
Tank out again, this time I pressure washer washed it and then left it cooking on the lawn overnight with a mixture of Caustic Soda and water. Good swill out and the inside of the tank is now clean and shiney....... rather than black and gloopy!
Popped the tank back in this afternoon............ took it for a run...... all good.
Taking it out again tonight to put a few more miles on it and then its going to its new home on Saturday................ providing the test drive turns out ok!!!
