Our first job of the week found us on a fairly local one over in Kilham, on Monday morning, for work on Phil’s 2001 MGF 120 in Copperleaf (CDX). He’d actually bought the car after selling his Midget, as wanted something to replace it with. Having found our details he read up on everyone’s recommendations for us and bought the car on the strength of those, which was so great to hear!
Full cambelt service carried out and a check over, he’d bought it at auction from Matthewsons, although serviced regularly the cambelt service was overdue, on this very good example.
Great to meet him and his wife Lisa and have fusses with their beautiful woofer Sonny.
A bit of change to the original plans for the week, as a big job we had booked in to the workshop, over a couple of days, was cancelled a couple of weeks ago. So we fitted Terry in for the welding to his MGF 75th. Jon got cracking with this, which has taken a lot longer than expected, as is usually the way.
We went over to another fairly local call in Elvington, on Thursday morning, where it was good to see Jim again and his very nice year 2000 MGF 120 in Wedgewood (JBH).
Minor service carried out, along with suspension pump up, repair to the radio and a check over of a couple of things that were brought up on the last MOT.
Back to the workshop in the afternoon for Jon to continue the welding, and for me to pack the van with all the stock and kit required for our next big away trip, commencing on Monday, right through to Sunday. This will be our last away trip of the year, we don’t normally go away at this time of year, due to uncertain weather conditions and ultimately lack of daylight, but it was necessitated by demand.
We also fitted Laura’s MGF ‘Princess’ back in, as it is having issues with possibly the Lambda sensor, which we will need to swap out, plus it also requires some welding. It will have to wait a little bit longer for us to get sorted, but she’ll get done for Laura to enjoy driving again when she herself is back on her feet.
So that brings us to Friday and the welding is now all complete on Terry’s car, which has been taken round to the bodywork shop next door this afternoon (AM Paintworx), for Aaron to work his magic on next week. We look forward to seeing ‘The Chairman’ all painted and back to rights again for Terry.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, near and far. A quiet one for us, getting the bags packed ready to head off to the south, bright and early on Monday morning. – https://ift.tt/g1CjvyV
