0023 The smaller things take even longer

The smaller the things, the longer they take !

Safely back home !

I needed to get Clementine out of Classic Car Clinic as they were due to get very busy, and I am still waiting on the carburettors as well as some new hot air piping for the exhaust.  In addition, Steve and I spent a while on the wiring, but kept blowing a fuse (the car, not us !) - there seems to be a short somewhere.  We had headlights, sidelights front and rear. but there seemed to be a problem in the indicator switch.  We also decided we need a new headlight dimmer relay as well as a new indicator relay, and as these would take a couple of days to arrive, it was expedient to take Clementine home and out of their way. So Cheaper Towing came and picked her up and brought her home.

And in the trailer

weekend I borrowed a trailer from my neighbour and used it to pick up the big engine hoist from CCC.  Over the weekend I manipulated the engine off Winno's engine stand (where it has been for a couple of months) and into the trailer.  I then loaded the gearbox, and fitted the folded up engine hoist in the trailer as well, and tied them all down firmly.  I also ensured I had all the nuts and bolts and hoses and clutch and everything else I would need down at Classic Car Clinic as we put the engine in, and did the several other things we needed to do in order to get Clementine running.
