    Still windy, but not as bad. Still pissing down. House smells like a wet musk ox

    At least the shops opened. Almost ran out of milk! Water tanks overflowing so much, it's eroding their foundations - another engineering fix for my retirement

    I'm all back to normal

    Should have kept the 355 here but if worst case had happened I'd be upset

    Thanks again mate for storing the car for me

    I’d like to restore one as a retirement project and make it perfect :)

    So you're going to get rid of the Truimph engine and stick an LS7 into it.

    *cough*

    I said perfect, not a stories car! The original V8 has an awesome exhaust note. All it needs is proper maintenance and minor mods to the cooling system

    Surely an electric water pump would be a good start?

    I think basically you would need to start from scratch, remove the heads, rebuild everything then sort the cooling system. If it overheats again and the heads warp, then start from scratch, remove the heads, rebuild everything then sort the cooling system :D :D :D

    Sounds like a triumph over the original engineering.
