......has begun at last. Since changing workshops last year l hadn't really worked on any of the cars to speak of so l decided to take a week off work & get things moving again starting with my remaining P6B. I managed to secure a couple of days attendance from Harvey who hadn't seen the new place since l moved in & after a tour of the premises we set to, though the setting-to was mainly carried out by Harvey while l supplied various sorted out tools demanded by the maestro from my new tool cabinets.
Thus far the leaking rear calipers have been removed along with the master cylinder which will go to Mark Gray for stainless-sleeved exchange units in the case of the calipers whereas the master will be sleeved. He has new cylinders but not stainless lined which is what we want & which service he also offers though apparently not many ask for the service which l find a little surprising.
Also the OSF wing was removed along with the suspension assembly on that side as the buffer rubber inside the spring has disintegrated & needs replacement. The other side is ok on sight but will be replaced as a matter of course. Wheelarch prettification along with general detailing has been & will be carried out. Looking at the one removed front caliper, l think l'll be going for exchange units with those too.
l'll add photos ASAP. Files are too large to be taken off my phone & photobucket is still awkward though l understand they have had to backpedal somewhat regarding their moneygrabbing antics recently.
