Didnt bother with the lockers as I wont be leaving the car anywhere for them to get pinched plus I didnt want to pay for em lol
Even found the new valves in a draw full of crap at work

Hey guys,
As some of you know my tax disc arrived last week.... So whilst the weather was good saturday I thought I'd go out for a quick drive to check all was ok after having it in so many bits! It was great to drive it again however a few miles up the road I noticed the temp guage hadnt moved so I pulled over and saw the connector had come off the nipple from which it reads the temp. So a little bit of fiddliness saw that clipped back on and apart from that all was well so Im pleased at that. Whilst pulled over I got a few photos.......

Hopefully If the weather stays ok I'll be able to get out and about this week too!

Not sure if it's something you've thought about Nick but something that bugs me on the vinyl'd Novas is the fact that theres a body coloured line around there doors where you can see the door shuts, if/when I redo my TD (the vinyl is hiding rot it seems) I plan on painting the door shuts as well to hide this.
I noticed that as well but it is a minor flaw on such a 'perfect' carQuote:

The above is not strictly a flaw.... I followed the original vinyl along the sill but I did change it a little from when it starts to curve and go upwards as thats were it was wider slightly. I did that so it was all the same width as I thought it would be neater and It was how I wanted it. If you look at the poster from the tv feature (when it was original vinyl) you can see the yellow showing through on the sill there too. Its how they are but I guess it shows as its such a contrast to the grey where as others colours are not as bad etc.
