New Half Time Bearing, although it will have to wait 'til January (which means the Nitrons I had planned will have to wait longer still).

Coat of paint for the rockers (drying as I type), also to be fitted with a new flame/oil trap, gaskets, and, badges. Hood overhaul kit from Renovo. Then it's a case of anything else I can get away with doing after escaping to the garage undetected.

Oh forgot, repair to rear end and sprayed up in the new year after a nice young lady used me as a brake on Friday!

Not for Christmas as such, but more for tinkering at my little Christmas holiday -

AMM heat wrap
Stepper motor restrictor
Leven petrol cap
new rear badge

Had already replaced the rubber seal on the soft part of the hood with nice new stuff, and am getting a small 30g tub of Dodo Juice Supernatural tonight so I can make the thing even more shiny smile

A prior attempt at a 'spot repair' on the top edge of the nearside rear wing which has a very marked colour difference specially in artificial light at night time, will be rectified on the first Monday of the new year...

Yes, I know I'm spoiling her rotten but my Chimmie deserves it. smile

My Tuscan, is getting its carpets redyed as the rear shelf has faded badly, a later spec radio surround so make it look like the radio is not just chucked on the dash, a diagnostic lead and its throttles balanced.
