Well as works been a bit thin on the ground this last week or so I turned my mind to a load of chores, cleaning the homestead, cleaning the dog wagon and fitting a new number plate and rear light and a hundred other little errands that I haven't had time for
in like maybe a year.
And then it occurred to me to go clean the inside of the Pumber Thunder, yes that's the one that's been sat in the garage for like 18 months yep the one I half halfheartedly advertised for sale some time ago.
So on a passing glance some months ago there was a little mould inside and it kinda broke my heart the amount of time and money I put into the car yada yada blah and I thought it better for someone else to have it although I realised a SORNED MOT expired car wouldn't realise a fraction of the 3k plus I have in it.
So anyways an hour in and its looking pretty minty in there in fact its probably as good a condition Thunder interior as Ive ever seen.
So I got to thinking about its other plus points which I wont bore you with ....ok I lied :grin: Cambelt water pump timing belt done, Clutch done,all by members and with Ford tackle, Longlife stainless exhaust, Refurbed rear beam New wishbones Ford stuff again,New springs and shocks, handbrake cover, polished knob, custom leather steering wheel courtesy of WildE, mudflaps,St150 front brakes, New brake pipes and hose all round (well nearly ) new petrol tank, tons of de rusting and hammeriting, Lux mats with covers, and all in a circa 69k car with less than 3/4 k on all the new tackle.........and it suddenly struck me I'm emotionally re engaged with it again.......
