For me, this is my last day at work till late January

So in honour of this, I have prepared a little piece to try and convey my feelings at this moment in time.

I will be doing some work to both my cars over the holidays. The white one needs some TLC to prepare it for reregistration, while the red one will be receiving adjustable suspension, disc brake dust covers (for a bit of workshop fun, not for performance) and the twin 1.5" SUs.

What will you be doing over the holidays to your car(s)?

I've got next week off, I'll try to get a few things done..
-Few little pieces of wiring to tidy up
-New foam and rubber to refurb the front seats
-Replace rear wheel bearing
-Replace engine steady bushes
-I bought an HS4 so I need to see what needs doing to that
-Install window washers

Hopefully not too much fixing, lots of driving would be nice!

Would love to get my hands all over a pair of lovely big jugs (HS4's). Was looking at buying from UK, but sadly the pound is now about 0.55 to the AUD & the postage cost bordering on licensed burglary.

Would look nice on my reco'd MK 1 head, which I'll be reassembling over Xmas with genuine Mk 1 AEA 592 valves.

Just to torment you ,

Funny thing is the sign pole incorrect diameter, used a piece of 45mm dia.
bends a bit, but works well enough.
