It's been a while since I last posted here, so a quick update for you all.

This weekend sees the first series of tasks being performed by Lates & Pete to get OVP back on the road. The initial tasks are to sort out the non-starting issues - believed to be down to the fuel pump - and from there give the engine a good thorough going over for the usual signs of wear and tear before treating it to a good service if all seems well. Moving on, it's a case of doing the obvious - front springs - and not so obvious - electrical maladies - so it's going to be a busy time coming up.

I'd like to thank Corin, who you all know as Messenger, for generously donating a replacement fuel pump, and David Spriggs who not only pitched in with a replacement set of front springs and steel wheel but also collected the remaining three we needed before bringing them up to Lates last week. They're being shod with some part-worn Continental EcoContact tyres we've sourced and will be perfect for while the car is shuttled round the yard being renovated and sprayed. Which also means we're going to have an increasing number of bits we no longer need to be shifted!

So, the next big update will be Sunday evening, and fingers crossed it will be all good news.
