Driving me round the bend............

..and then along the road, up the hill and on for another 20 or so trouble free miles! That would be a successful test drive then.
This was a momentous time for the Hillbillies as "Claude" was towed to the MOT station and today was the first time he had been driven on the road for some 10 years or so.
Driving him did show a few niggles that'll need sorting before the off (four weeks today!) but nothing major.

Long awaited drive!

Six weeks to go.................

What have I been up to for the last fortnight? Oh yes, that's right, I've been working on a van. But, it's starting to pay off now.
So, what have I done to it? I've fitted a handbrake, gear lever, allsorts of interior trim, number plates and most of the exterior panels.
I've also fitted the fuel tank and had the engine running.
Today saw us travelling up to Halifax to fetch four new tyres for him, at 60 quid for 4 Michelins (off Ebay) it was hard to resist.
Not much lef to do now, see what you think.
