She's home!

She's almost ready to go on the trailer... notice the skidmarks!

Well, we went off to pick up the GT this morning. We arrived bright and early, about 8.30. We assessed what our plan of action for removal was to be. First of all, we tried dragging the car to see if the brakes would free off... this, however was not to be! We then went about jacking the car up to free off the brakes. The front ones moved with no problems, and after freeing off the adjuster on the rear ones, the car was moving!

Packed up and ready to go

We sorted through the spares that came with the car - I now have a complete gearbox, along with endless other spares - two grilles, 4 disc wheels and hubcaps, a set of Works headlamp cowls, side chrome trims, and various other assorted bits. After a bit of rolling backwards and forwards, we got the car just about in line with the trailer, and pushed it on.

We stopped on the way home to give her a quick powerwash down, and this got rid of some of the surface dirt to save her sitting in the garage at home until she was mobile.

Home sweet home... Who could ask for a better garage?

Just look at those spares! Those shelves were almost empty yesterday, never mind the floor!

The engine turns freely, and I've stuck some oil in the bores - I'll continue to do this for the next few days, and possibly we'll have her running by the end of next week! I'll have to get a couple of batteries sorted first, mind...
