i was very lucky to get home my ship anchored 15 miles from my house! Could well have been stuck there for several more months!
looking forward to getting stuck into the Blue car it's been a two years since I last did any work on it (a very long time for me!)
got a few more bits planned than the list above but will keep them a surprise

Made a start on the blue car last night had a productive couple of hours stripped out both front corners and left the power steering and engine oil to drain down over night ready for the front subframe to be swaped out.

the other benefit is also access much easer to access some bolts, also looking at running power steering lines differently now too
