Thanks Graham,

Yes, I got us to the church OK. It was the first time my daughter had seen it in that condition and she was very impressed.

However it disgraced itself afterwards. Bride and groom were loaded for the trip down to the reception and people were taking photos of them. A nephew asked me to open the driver's window to take some pictures. It got halfway down when the window dropped into the door and snagged the lock cables causing the door to open and not shut.

Eventually they went by another car and I limped home with a friend holding the door shut.

At least I got her there and apart from that it was a very good day. One to remember for the right reasons (mostly)!

Unmentioned problem was the fuel tank leaking most of a tank of fuel while it was being retrimmed. Solution was to fit two BSA four gallon tanks to a cut down pallet tray and put them in the boot. Worked a treat.

Then the day before taking the car away the door strike plate fell apart and I got the last one from Bristol's at a price. If I had the time I could have got one cast for less than that!

The only issues now are getting the grub screws for the door locks and a replacement door winder as mine has cracked inside the 'square' section, and working out how to get the other one off the winder mechanism. Oh yes and the locking mechanism on the other door opens rather than locks the door!
