Anyone following this blog will have noticed that I've not been active for a couple of weeks. The reason is simple - I have taken 2 weeks off from my normal D2D grind and been busy working in Botswana as part of an Operational Review team at Debswana's Orapa Diamond Mine.
I have basically finished all I can do to the car prior to painting, so when I get back my first move will be to get her to the wheel alignment shop and then the paintshop.

Round up.....
There are a lot of small things going on, not enough to warrant a post all their own, but enough that they should get mention somewhere.
First, I got the rear brake disks. Those were fitted with a minimum of fuss. So now the car can be lowered. But that is not going to happen just yet.
The essential hoses for the cooling system are in, only the header tank needs fitting, and for that the scuttle needs fitting. The correct fittings for the water rail are also fitted.
I bought a rivnut gun, and I am busy drilling holes in the scuttle for the washer bottle, header tank and the brake and clutch reservoir bracket.
The spark plugs are fitted.
I am busy replacing every galvanized capscrew with stainless steel ones.
I'll tackle some wiring this Saturday.
