Happy Birthday, Gearbox Linkage and Mirror

So yesterday marked 20 years of ownership and a return of my V5 with the correct address on.

So I celebrated by putting the mirror back on. Good use of my spare number plate to clamp it on

But I clamped it upside down and had to take it back off with a mallet and chisel!

So I clamped it again

UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!

Third time lucky!

 Next up I have the new gear change linkage to put back on. My gear stick has not self centred for years, one of the little joints was seized.

Old one off

Painted and then assembled whilst watching the last episode of Killing Eve

Back on the car

New Gearbox Oil

I have gears, super smooth gears - another step forward!

Celebrate with a local delicacy

My Mrs found some of my Cuff links (and my wedding ring which I have started to wear again)

The day got better - I found my missing socket.

And my box of parts is going down
