It is the end of school for the year on Friday and I can't wait. I have left the car painting until the last possible minute. On Sunday my wife and I are swapping our house with a couple from Thailand and will fly from Heathrow for a summer of rest and relaxation. I have promised myself that I will have the inner in blue by then. Now, Wednesday morning it is in primer with all the joints sealed and completely rubbed down ready, and waiting for some colour. I am out tonight and Friday night with work which leaves Thursday evening and Saturday to get it done. I haven't collected the paint yet either. There is much to go wrong and lots to ponder.
On a brighter note I did see a set of 15" 48 spoke wheels on eBay. The chap had owned them for 30 years and decided he needed the garage space. They were off a TR2 but after some digging I established that the TR, MGA and 100 cars all shared the same components so I asked my lovely wife if they could be a birthday present. The owner kindly brought them into his work which was conveniently located in central London and I collected them last night. A blast and a stove enamel will leave them looking top notch for a hell of a lot less than a new set. Very happy.
