That dash looks great. What did you stick over it? I can't tell what's original and whats new.

Great thread Carolyn - good to see you're getting your hands dirty too - I just learnt the art of packing bearings myself. Grease went just about everywhere - and finally into the bearing. :D

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

(not only cos then Matilda can get on the hoist!)

So Errol's going to get up my Matilda? :eek: is this life imitating art? :D

(And is that why you called the hoist Errol?)

Errol only seems to like the skinny little lasses. With the heavy set ladies he has a tendency to fail to "Rise to the occasion":twisted:

But like good old Mr Flynn, there are girls And boys qued up down the driveway just waiting to get on top:p

The seats will be ordered soon from the U.K.....our upholsterer could not go anywhere near the price we can buy and get them delivered to our door:o

Scallops best get Matilda ready for the run over to meet Errol;)
