Went over to the Bromley Pageant with a shopping list for the autojumble. Show was ok, massive as usual with the normal Granada Diesel Owners Club stands etc and just a few rods. Got a ride in Roland's green 'Thunderbirds Are Go' T'bird round the arena while the mic dude talked about hotrods etc.
Was thoroughly unimpressed with the autojumble though and came back with very little that was actually on the list, but got the following stuff: Set of nice quality body hammers and dollies which I need to straighten the back quarters on the car, bonnet straps - wehey haven't seen these for ages and look much more period than bonnet pins and a Lucas remote solenoid so I can kick the engine over when I'm in the engine bay and don't have to reach round to the key. Figured a new solenoid won't go amiss since it stuggles to turn over anyway and nice new shiny terminals vs 15 year old crusty ones can only be a good thing.
Was kinda hoping to find a sneaky 105E flipfront in better nick than my one and at least a trader selling 7" headlights but nothing like that there at all. Are the days of the autojumble numbered? Guess I'll just have to hit the 'net and mail order them.
