Air freshener has lost its smell. Might buy a new one. Might just open the window.
Also, I’m down to about 3 serviettes in the door pocket, so will pinch a handful extra when I next grab a Costa.

Yeah. I’ve also been running about with the parcel shelf roller blind thingy open for a good few months now.
Was toying with the idea of closing it for a bit, but, y’know, don’t wanna leave myself with nothing to do later on in the year.

Should really get shot of the Coo Pee as Roadster drivers are much more enthusiastic about their cars. It'll give you that zest for life back that you've been missing.

hopefully you’ll put pics up after? Would be interested to see how the rolling turns out as I nearly did it on mine. Ended up playing around with the alignment and fitting skinnier tyres so didn’t.

I will be:
Firstly getting it running again as it suddenly no longer starts. I found out as I was due to set off for work :(
Once that is done then I will be painting the callipers, hubs, wheel bolts. (Colour of callipers yet to be decided)
Storing hardtop in the shed in the hope of some dry sunny days
and maybe fit some door sound proofing and speakers.
