Another nice leisurely drive to work and back. Although was gusty and throwing it down at half three this morning. Lovely and sunny on the way back though.

Removing all the seat box fastenings prior to removal and there were only two imperial bolts on there. Most were nasty 10mm bolts which kept shearing off. It hasn't been apart since 96 though so I guess I shouldn't complain.

As it is our anniversary, I thought about a romantic trip to Paris in it, or maybe somewhere even more exotic, but in the end we decided to just stay at home. :thud

Put the shiny new rear propshaft next to it. Waited for the postie with the rest of the bits I've ordered.... Unusually slow. I know they were posted last week.

A big  :o :o to Viking who delivered the envelopes I need for membership renewals very quickly tho.

Friday: stripped out the floor and seat box.

Saturday: removed the gearbox.

Sunday: removed the engine.

Monday: removed the clutch and brake master cylinders, cleaned lots of stuff, opened up the hole in the bulkhead to allow late Series 3 brake servo tower to fit, painted lots of stuff.

Tuesday: stripped rotten battery box off seatbox, repaired a couple of bits, fitted new underseat battery box and a new additional one for the driver’s side. Took it all apart again to paint.
