Having withdrawal symptoms from not seeing the old chap over the festive period, Paul and I decided to head over to SMS motors and see how the Mustard Bomber was doing. On our arrival we saw that work on the car was in full flow. Lucky Number 7 was up on the ramp and the sills were being repaired. I was interested to see a number of 'inspection holes' at the bottom of the car. "How useful" I thought; these could be used for a number of applications ranging from foot steps to external shelving units, however it would appear that this is where the rust has been cut away ready for a fresh steel panel to be welded into place. I'm sure that this is probably the correct way of doing things although you do need to consider the benefit of all that extra storage space.
The guys at Southern Motor Services are doing a cracking job and I'm told that the MOT is on the horizon.
Our car has been SORNed until the MOT but when that is done we'll be taking Lucky No. 7 out on a few road trips in a bid to build up to th emain event slowly.
With the New Year we need to renew our efforts and start to approach perspective sponsors as well as looking to get the car sign written or wrapped with the sponsors logos.
