The ABFM was great, the weather was just spectacular and it was so nice to see all those classic British cars gleaming in the sun. Everyone was having a good time, I spent a good couple of hours in the MG section of course and had a good look at some fine examples of the marque and figured out a few things about my car and what needs to be done. The next day was the swap meet in Kerrisdale, I got some good deals on some odds and ends, a pair of complete front indicator lights for $20 and the Haynes "Owner's Workshop Manual" (C 1973) which I've never seen before but is really good! It assumes you know your way around a car, but doesn't assume you are a professional mechanic. Lots of step-by-step pictures with big arrows. Each section has a good overview as well unlike the regular Haynes manual which I find really terse. I'm sure I'll get lots of use out of it for only $5! Fitted the tonneau cover this morning, zipped out the driver's side, as I had to stop by work for a little while, its cloudy today and on the way home I got rained on.. which was really fun! I'm sure the other drivers thought I was nuts. I even got to slide around a few corners on the wet pavement ;-) No luck with the overrider (bumperette) bolts, I'm going to buy some nut splitters from JC Whitney (Canadian Tire doesn't have the right size, big suprise). I'm also putting together a little Motorhead order, just some trim bits, new fuse box, little things. Motorhead's prices are about the same as Moss or VB so I figure I will try them out, I'd rather support a small operation and their heart seems to be in the right place (their catalogue is unique)
