Tango Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Missus gets back from Paris this afternoon, so we'll see what the plan is for the weekend. Weather is not looking too bad, but a bit cooler than the last few days. Missus is saying that she needs to get her biking Mojo back, as she's barely used her bike in the 16 months that we've been here! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Feeling tired today. Up at 3am yesterday and went to Wigan to collect a 3ltr engine and manual gearbox for the mates Capri. His car started life as a 30ltr auto Ghia. Last owner swopped engine and box for a 2.8 auto out of a Granada. We've now got everything we need to make it a 3ltr manual. Chap we got the parts from has this in his garage amongst other things. Today I will be mostly knock out an old brick fireplace, resting and heading for the pub. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
