Day 47.
A long day spent at Simpson Autocare with Chris. I started at about 9.20 this morning and finished around 10.30 this evening. I will keep the blog short tonight as it is late and we all know I need my beauty sleep.
Worked some more on Elvis the Escort today. I did lots and lots of rubbing down and I started to look like a smurf, all covered in blue dust. I got some more pictures of Elvis on the roller jig.

After Elvis the Escort was done for the day, Elvis grandson, Edward the Escort came up for a new clutch to be put in. That was a right bugger to do! Nothing was simple, there were so many brackets to unbolt and lots of twisting and shouting at the gearbox. Edward the Escort did leak a lot on Chris floor and he was being very stubborn and didn't want to have his clutch changed. Eventually after using lots of muscle power and an engine crane, we got the blasted thing back into position and bolted back.
This is what I look like after a day at the workshop, a regular grease monkey.
I had to make a decision today whether I would fly to America with my family. Well I made a decision......
Until tomorrow.
Jim
