Tomorrow I'm (probably) going to clean up 10 wheels, bought off John Riley (323), ready for painting and tyres to be fitted.

John is going over to 6 stud axles on his new car so his stock of 5 stud rims have now found a new home at 278...thanks John.

While I was at 323HQ managed to get a look at John's new build but photo's were not on the agenda...going to be a stunner though!! I've also ordered some wheels off Murray Harrison which, I'll be collecting over the next few weeks.

We split ourselves into 3 groups today, Brian and Ian continued with some maintenance work on the bus + fitting some much needed running lights down the sides and across the front and back.

Tony sorted, cleaned and fitted up a new front axle for the 218 car + checked over, cleaned and re-worked much of the suspension on the car. He also finished off some grinding work needed to the chassis before the new bumpers and nerfs can be fitted next week.

For my part I removed the gearbox from my car ready to be stripped and serviced, removed and cleaned up all the rose joints from the suspension + fitted new parts where needed.
