Pastures new! Best of luck, that'll be the cleanest 90 in Essex if the Jet was anything to go by!

It had to be completely different Hills. That way I couldn't dwell on what is no more & could move on more easily. Cold turkey or what?

As for Jess getting in & out? Let's just say I am getting reacquainted with parts of her that were once a distant memory.

We did go to Lookers in Chelmsford a couple of days before I got Larry & Jess had a trial run in their demonstrator. Grab handle - step - bounce - and up she goes.

Little Eric is housebound at the moment & someone has got in his place.



But I am sure he can find a spot for his seat now the back has been lined out with rubber matting. Padded cell comes to mind.

Before & Afters





Just waiting for the weather to improve so I can stick the side pieces down as it's either too cold or too damp for gluing.

Just waiting on the boss coming then the Richbrook will be going on in place of this lumpy great OE thing.



Got some NAS LED rear lights on order then no more blown bulbs for me.

As you can see the modding has begun.

Coffee over the monitor moment.

Mark I`ve used this company before always seem to have cheap wheel/tyres or just tyres at reasonable prices.
Their steel wheels and chunky off road tyres are maybe good for your off roading ventures or just for winter use.

Just checked, and yes they are still there :-

Cheers guys. Nice to have your support at this time of change.

Feeling a bit better now the "Steroid Wagon" has been dressed properly.
