No HMB news as-of-yet, although something very big will be happening eventually...
Croft Nostalgia weekend, at the weekend though! In the meantime, CYD news, since I know you're all hungry for something Anglia related...
CYD came in with a faulty water pump. First task, clean all the oil off that engine block to make it more work-friendly. This was done through liberal applications of Gunk and a pressure washer. All went well!
New water pump went on without a flaw and so easily I neglected to document it.
The inside of the CYD was quite filthy, so I pulled out the hoover, the Cif oven cleaner, and a nail brush. A little time later, and the seats look much cleaner! Here's a half and half on the rear bench:
And done:
A little Ford fragrance:
Also reattached some chrome which was falling off with the same plastic Golf clips as HMB, and finally gave the car some doglegs after many years living without them.
I next then gave it a quick going over with some chrome cleaner and polish
Successful couple of days, I think.
