Moved the Car outside

Today I moved the car outside because although my garage is warm and dry it is just too small to work around I moved it out and put it in my car park , next to my house for this weekend (a 1963 Bedford Bus!)

Next job to do is to Reconnect the brakes, probablyusing brake tub joiners which need to be sourced and fitted. And after that the electrics :(

UPDATE!!

I haven't updated this blog due to other commitments (fixing lawnmowers) and an ever decreasing amount of free time. In the last fortnight I have got a lot done:
The Brakes have been overhauled new wheel cylinders, shoes etc All that is needed is plumbing in and bleeding.
The engine is in, one of the top bolts is done up, the other top isnt due to the oil cooler being in the way so that needs to be sorted fairly soon.
Whilst checking the brake on the front right side I noticed filler on the arch, and started chipping away with a small screwdriver and found a piece of filler half an inch thick!

Loads more work to do but the end is coming into view i'll update more regualrily from now on
