Quite productive on the car today. Little bits and pieces finished off and then an almighty great clear out. Sorted everything into either tools, materials or rubbish. I also made a bag of stuff that could be moved to the garage.
Lockwired the front brake calliper bolts and made quite a good job of it. Looks quite professional. Still not happy with the battery strap I have started, I am trying to think of a simple way of holding it in place. The most elegant solution I could come up with was to make a diamond shaped piece of flat ally and then bend the corners up around the battery. Simple straps from each of the corners would secure the battery in place. It's a lot simpler than the other version I had.
There are some jobs on the car that can be deferred until it the car is on the road. I am starting to revise the to-do list accordingly into jobs that have to be done pre-MOT and those that can be completed later on.
Need to source a variety of parts (mostly fasteners) tonight, have to see how much I can get on the internet.
I can also sell off the remaining Sierra and Cortina parts.
