MOT booked for Thursday afternoon :shocked:
Lost to do tomorrow, including collecting a trailer that my neighbour has kindly lent me to transport the truck to the MOT station.

Saffy, how many litres of the Gravitex did it take to do the tub. It looks just the thing I need to do mine with ;-)
Thanks

I bought four in total . 2 covered it quite well but a 3rd and maybe 4th will finish with a leveling orange peel coat nice. It flows out of the schultz gun really nice too.

Omg - fitted 205/70 tyres... they sooooooooo small. Hah but at least it can turn now and no chance of rubbing up against metal work! Had to gently urge one of the brake hose to not touch against the wheel - no idea what was in my mind when I fitted +2 inch braided hoses back in the day - pain in the butt for locating nicely.
Made some leather strap seat back retainers - seat no longer fall over when hitting brakes.
High beam and the left hand indicator decided they didn't want work any more. Urged them back to work with a bit of poking around the column switch with my swiss army knife.
Checked all the oil levels, all okay except the gearbox which needed over 2 litres! Guess that's near dry.
Really needs a wash and de-mossing but other than the unknown I think it's ready for MOT.
Picking up trailer in a bit, will have to load truck on tonight.
