Soon ready for pick-up!

Time flies, but finally I have agreed with Mark to travel to Manchester on February 23rd to collect the car. I count of spending 2-3 days to test, go through and readjust various issues before leaving Manchester. Petter, my youngest son will join me on the 27th. Before heading for Hull and the ferry we intend to spend a couple of days in North Yorkshire.





The assembly seems to have been going smoothly, but some problems are still remaining. Yesterday I had to email wiring diagrams to the workshop, so it seems that some electrical gremlins are persisting. Quite as expected, taking into account that the car has been quite disassembled during the process.



Some new parts have been purchased such as door locks, windscreen, roof and bonnet lining as well as exterior trim. And at home a set of 4 renovated alloy wheels are waiting to be fitted together with some new rubber, the old tyres must be close to 15 years old now.
Last, but not least - The new fuel pump, which was purchased in Holland has been installed. Hopefully this should cater for no surprises with sudden death on the Autobahn on the way home.
