This summer I am finally getting the family BGT back on the road.
I intended to sort it last year, but then Sarah fell pregnant, the weather was crap and I only got as far as changing the fuel pump, but it does now run again!

Next weekend I'm going to start going over it, I've already got a few jobs to sort:


New Carpets
Sort the clutch problem (I think it's the slave cylinder)
Charge the flat battery!
Knackered grab handles on the doors
Replace the broken fan heater switch
Put some air in the tyres!
Tax
Insure it!
MoT it!



I'll try and use this thread to post some pics and keep you all updated, if there's any interest?

Here's a very old picture of the B!

New carpets are ordered, so that's a big chunk of the interior a step closer to being sorted.
