After all the prep work, I finally got the car dropped off to Jacks Hill Motors yesterday morning so they could do the welding and get the car MoT'd. Wasn't planning on walking back to work, but as I've become accustomed, you can't rely on the buses down here. And it was the same bus Jules used to get over to Letchworth that I needed to catch. Should've remembered, and made alternative arrangements.

the job looks brill, you really wouldn't know it's been welded
