The day has finally arrived..........................

A bit of work to be done. The workshop has been cleared out, ready for the new work load, although this baby now runs like a dream.

The first thing we sorted was the missing gasket on the inlet manifold, which was causing major backfire any a probable fire if it wasn't sorted asap. Once this was sorted we took it for a test drive only to hear worn wheel bearings.
On inspection this turned out to be a loose front wheel hub nut.

Now to sort out some wiring issues and then some body work. Then she'll be as good as new.
Why do we celebrate the guy that invented the wheel??
Surely we must celebrate the guy tat invented the other three

Must admit that often i'm a bit bad at reading between the lines...
Does this mean that:

A) H.R. is the new owner?
B) H.R. 's son is the new owner?
C) Groenie is being fixed by H.R.& Son's Aircooled & Nissan Services for Splitz?
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).
