Round Britain prep work on entrants cars is now almost finished – including a last minute panic concerning the engine on one, the cooling fan on another and the failure of headlamps to operate on two others, one of which is the 2000 Mk1 which I am entered in! Luckily enough these are now pretty much sorted and ready to go.
A customer we haven’t seen for over four years who used to have a Herald 13/60 convertible has come back, having sold the car a while ago, with a different example of the same model. We are currently adjusting the door and bonnet gaps as best we can, sorting out some duff electrics and replacing tired and worn driveshaft UJs and engine mounts amongst other little bits of fettling.
Having had no fewer than four TR6s in at the same time for work ranging from gearbox rebuilds including clutch crosshaft upgrades, through a variety of suspension and transmission/driveline problems to brake repairs and injection work, we are now down to our last one – we do have a TR4 coming in tomorrow for a fair few bits and pieces though!
As the summer rush starts to slow down, thoughts turn to winter rebuilds with two 2500 engines and a TR2 unit already booked in and a roundtail Spit due in in a couple of weeks for sills, floors, heelboards and who knows what else might come to light. It’s never dull around here!
