- please keep your posts in the following format:

title
all your content, no tags - use instead

jonny's feed

hope this is some use - I'm going to sub so I can keep an eye on it.

W w w w w what?

So that feed page just picks up the title html on www.jonny69.co.uk/blog.htm and you guys subscribe to my blog through that page? Oooooo clever.

yessss, as long as you keep formatting your posts like that, it'll work whenever you update the page. How exciting

if you wanted to be really snazzy, you could put the following code between the <head></head> tags so that new people visiting from your site can subscribe directly (it puts the little rss icon in the address bar)

Code:

<link rel='alternate' type='application/rss+xml' title="Johnny's blog" href='http://feed43.com/6024740564042370.xml' />

Kinda slow progress this week but it's starting to take shape. This is how I left it on Saturday in the garage. Doors are on and flipfront is on its hinges so the car is easy to move around in one piece:

I re-arranged the garage a bit so the back corner is now a worktop set out on two Workmates and I can lay out various bits of trim, engine bits etc. All those bits that are difficult to do on the floor. Monday night I lugged all the interior down from the flat to the garage incuding the seats so the whole car is back in the garage for the first time in probably 3 years!!! Up in the warmth of the flat I cut my space mat insulation to the template I made back in about 2005 and last night gave it a trial fit. Couple of trims here and there and it dropped straight in:

I bought some new fitted carpets off eBay a long long time ago, clearly in anticipation, and dropped them on top to see what they looked like. "Fitted" is a word I wouldn't have used personally because they are as baggy as hell, but I have to admit it does look a lot better than what I had in there before and it'll be fine once the seats are bolted in.

Once I'd finished faffing I cut holes in the space mat so I could get through to bolt the seats in, a surprisingly fiddly job, then ripped all the old black rear interior panels out and replaced them with the lush red ones I had hiding under the spare bed:

I wanted to continue but I was a few nuts and bolts short to bolt the seats in and there's a few interior fixings missing to hold the door panels and handles on. I got the bolts tonight but, typically, my enthusiasm was curbed by my Pop refusing to start so I had to deal with that or risk having to drive her car to work again. I had put some new plugs in it and they obviously don't like my ludicrously keen gapping technique in the cold weather so once I'd closed them up a bit it fired up great. It was one of those nights where I kept bashing my head and dropping things, then the kid from round the corner turned up so instead of shouting at it and swearing (which would have fixed it) I had to stifle my anger and the job took longer than necessary.

So here we are with a pocket full of nuts and bolts, patiently waiting until tomorrow night in the garage...
