Something like that I find fascinating,to think someone wrote that forty odd years ago and you're the first person to have seen it since. A while back I did some repairs to the front of my shop,on the reverse of one piece of wood were some measurements with calclations as to the fitting of another piece,all in pencil and at a guess unseen for fifty or sixty years at least. I've put a message under one of the timber parts I replaced,I wonder if it will ever get to be read.

I like this kind of story. I don't know if you can find a human trace if you dismantle a brand new car

A guy I know used to specialise in selling Ford Escorts,he was well know for winding back (adjusting he called it) speedos. He bought one once and laying on his back to get at the dials he found a notice stuck on the back of the gauge.It said "Oh no,not again".

Just as a matter of interest Cyf; how many photos do you actually have?

I really don't know. I made pictures of every stage of dismantling in order to remember for the future

Today, let's take a look at what's above our heads. When you take the roof lining off, you see this It's the same material as the one under the carpets The innerside of the roof lining A little tip I discovered: to have access at the rear fixing screw of the roof lining, you must take off the plastic hook
