Semi productive evening today....
- last wheel back on
- my roof is no longer falling off, has some nice new brackets holding it on... sandwiching the fibreglass lip where the bolts had removed themselves from the roof
- washered my steering stop bolts so the tyres dont touch the springs on absolutely full lock
- put the other 2 bolts on my fuel tank haha

All that is left to do tomorrow before the MOT on friday
- 7 more rivets to hold the new brackets to the roof
- paint said brackets black
- recharge battery
- add fuel
- underseal!!!
