Since picking up the car the sun visors have been stuck solid so I removed them today and also gave them a clean. After a bit of intense waggling they seem to be okay now if a little stiff.

While I was messing around I decided to have another look under the carpet at the floor pan as I'd never really had a look at the bulkhead. Well the passenger side looked as I remembered and the bulkhead also looks good. When I looked at the drivers side I found a hole just past where the foot pedals are. Oh crap. Well I always knew owning a Triumph that at some point I would be drawn into the seedy underground world of welding but I had hoped to put it off a while longer. The hole is very small only about 8mm x 12mm but it would certainly fail an MOT so before the summer comes round again I know I will have to get this sorted. I don't currently own any welding gear so I will have to think about how I tackle this problem as I dont have any real spare cash to throw at the car at the moment. Its a lesson learned as I remember lifting the carpet to have a look at the floor when I bought the car but I should have pulled it back a bit further. I would still have bought it but I could have knocked another couple of hundred off the agreed price.
