A drip of paint on the wheels

For the past two days i've been giving the wheels a good rub down and paint, i've now finished 3 of 5 wheels, and the herald is starting to look very smart indeed, though taking off each wheel gives us a daunting reminder of how much work there really is to be done, some nice patches of rust are appearing from day to day. Atleast i won't be stuck for jobs!

We did however reveal a missing wheel nut on the front nearside wheel, we were lucky to get back from Nottingham to Kent without a wheel coming off. New wheel nut ordered, and the missing '1200' badge on the boot, though this will be a christmas present to me, and therefore won't make an appearance in photos for a few months yet.

Update on the gearbox; it has been bought on ebay for a very respectable £41.00 (I hope this price doesn't reflect it's condition) and should be delivered and ready to install within the next week or so.
