The last person I expected to come to the rescue......

The Wife....!!..( said like Peter Kay repeats " Garlic bread")

Yes her Indoors. Overlapping domestic slave. The boss and giver of all things nice.

After another weekend of rounding off the incredible putty-like sockets whilst attempting to remove the left front wing she actually came to the rescue.
Here's how it all happened.

Mid week at ma in laws. Nice lady who looks after the kids and all her daughters and sons in law too.
So in a never ending attempt to get her daughter to take some of her "stuff" from her old bedroom she pipes in ..........................There's some tools upstairs you might use , let me find them this week.
Me "yes Please".
Several days later at Ma in Laws " here's them tools "
"I thought they were Bills" ( deceased Pa in Law) but they have Sue's name on the outside of the tin"
Tin !...........Sue' name on them ( Wifeys name) KAMASA HIGH QUALITY SOCKET SET .............AF...............HALF INCH DRIVE.........WITH PLUG SPANNER !!!!!!!!!!!
It did take some time to sink in. And is has rained every day since the epiphany but well........
who'd have thought that !

Wives are like elephants
Wonderful to view, they never forget and can be surprising....But choose your time, place and proximity with them carefully. Keep quiet

I should add the tools are perfect.

High Chrome vanadium and very robust.

Purchased mid 80's to service her Vauxhall HB Viva.
( never actually used....!!)

Still no further with wing removal.

Next attempt is to lower dash and grind bolt heads off.

Must be after x-mas though as Ma has bought me the grinder as a prezzie.
Also must find somewhere to store all the stuff to reomve prior to grinding like fuel tank, seats, carpets+ 100's nuts,bolts ect
( all dutifully labelled of course)
