Morning all, long time no posting from me! The GT has been away having its quarter-century service for some months and is likely to be away for several more at this rate so in the meantime I've been trying to make some progress with the rest of the fleet. I'll be dipping in and out today as time allows but will try to keep up!
I'm driving a desk at this particular moment so these pictures from the yard taken over the last couple of weeks will have to suffice:
(Photo credits go to Oli for the last two. Very thoughtful of him to put his nice clean car in front of mine!)
Note that all cars remain 2m apart at all times!!

Nice subframe!!
I had to swap back from USB charger to cigarette lighter (long involved story, but satnav's use the charge cable for an aerial for traffic updates), so as I'm a tight northerner, I've re-purposed this:
and stuck it here

other lockdown madness that has set in....
Rear seat belts: (and this one is James's fault!)
Notice the wire? It does this
Fronts will do the same.
And then I also figured, as I'm doing the "classic" footwell lighting, I'd go big with it.....
