History - Part 10 - End of the History

Well after renewed vigour (3 blogs in the last day), I thought it was about time to bring you all up to date with the latest status.

After the Summer of 2003, I drove the car a couple of times during the bleak months whilst the sun was shining and then laid the car up for the winter and true to form that is where she stayed to this day.

During this time another problem developed, the drivers seat collapsed and to keep this going for the summer I tapped the base of the seat with black duck tape to try and prevent any further loss of foam.

I still go into the garage at least once a month and start her up, which she still does, no problem. However, I do have the car connected to one of those Draper trickle chargers all the time.

I thought I would get another MOT this summer, but when I went to get the car out of the garage, the clutch pedal went straight to the floor. There seems no visible evidence of fluid anywhere, but someone as suggested that the slave cylinder may be leaking, any further advice here would be helpful.

As if I didn't need it, another reminder that this car is meant to be driven.

I have decided this autumn/winter to complete the service that I started in summer 2003 and basically do a general tidyup, sort out the clutch slave cylinder and drive her daily in the spring and summer (even in the wet - gasp!)

I do need to sort out the drivers seat though, so if any one, has a spare going cheaply, please contact me.

I will need to take some more photos in December for the insurance. When this is done I will post them on the site.
