Recycling old stuff and adding more parts

So, since I did things in reverse order MG wise on my week off due to the weather. What follows is the last bit of stuff I completed after the trauma of disposing of the shed. That warrants a mention since up until last week it housed most of the MG bits. After son No1 helped me dismantle it last Sunday
I had all week to chop up and take to the dumpit site. First trip on appointed "odd number day" and after waiting about half an hour to get to the front of a long queue, Geezer doing parking allocation say "wot yer gorrin there mate". Me replying it was a 7x5 shed chopped up into manageable  long lengths. " Sorry we can't accept sheds, its against the rules innit". Then a knowing wink from him he says " Looks like a fence to me, wot izzit again " A Sh................ fence my good man  I replies, " In ya go, park last on left, wood into bay 8. That's the spirit . Especially since I estimated another four trips.
Left the lovely Renault in a bit of a mess though and me knackered and tense from worrying how long it would be before it started pissing it down.

Just the minor matter of building a retaining wall below the neighbours fence where the shed will but up to it. Bags of Cement, Breeze blocks, sand and gravel bought and transported to old garden bottom shed base.
Loads of brownie points earned so onto next phase of MG doings, front splash panel fitting.
I've had both panels a few weeks with fitting kit, but alas no rubber seal for outer inner edges.
So I had a bright Idea, use the old door seal. I'd just fitted a new one to the passenger door frame a few weeks ago finishing off the door mechanism and hinges.

It worked a treat. I even undersealed the deep dark orifice before fitting the splash panels, look

The nuts were a real bugger to get in and squash the windscreen rubber enough as its fairly tough stuff. I had to  grind the first few threads off to get them located but after I did that bingo.

I even got carried away with the undersealing too................look at the castle rails. It must have been 10 years since I welded them on but only Red-leaded them at the time. 

Since most of the MG bits are now in the Conservatory outhouse they are much more accessible, so next job will be refurbing a few more plastic bits like crash pad, vynyl dash top and lower instrument binnacle.

The only problem now is that with so much stiff spread in and around the house, including the MG It makes doing anything a very long winded process. Ah well back to work Monday, however the pubs were open Saturday night so I treated myself. Well worth waiting for.

P.S  still not heard from MGOC regarding brake pipe lengths ( Bar standard format reply  bla bla bla)
