Felt Like I had a pretty productive day today I have been measuring up and mounted the rear lights and Fuel cap... Quite happy with my work So what else have people been up to today in there garages?

Re-decorating the conservatory to keep SWMBO happy

Might get a run out tomorrow if its nice, don't want to do anything on the car till next winter.

Got my car back on its wheels for the first time in 3 months. Refitted the dash, tidied up the wiring to my EDIS.

removed the rally car from the garage and covered her up. Made space for the new chassis build.
Had a sleep.

I've done......................NOTHING!!!!! I got roped into a day out in Holmfirth, where there was some kind of folk festival (Just for the record we didn't know it was on), what is it with Morris Dancers.....it's just weird, and they had the"black" morris dancers who dress all in black and black their faces up.

Anyway, might get an hour in later, gonna mesh my grill in the bonnet and fit the bonnet catches.

Stripped the rust off four trailing arms and painted them.

Sounds simple and quick.

Took all day.


Suspension bits painted

^^ Looks like the jobs a goodun though, always the more simple jobs that seem to take the time!

looking good zil!!

almost turning the car into burnt toast .

changed the indicators and the lights flashed to fast, so bought a new relay that almost caught fire before i found some correct size/wattage bulbs in one of my draws..

so fustrated and happy that i can get the car MOT'd and than taxed (2.5 years after SVA as i cannot wast a further 6 weeks arguing with the DVLA).

ditch

Trying to get my Carbonmods scoop to fit the bonnet shape and think of a way to fit it to the original holes from the previous scoop! Sounds easy but had me scratching my head for ages...

I have been marking since 7 in the morning after having a 4 hours nap.

Now i have to study for my CCNA qualification.

8 hours in the garage today, welding up my 4x4 Jago

got stiffed and had work

Swapped my standard Escort rack for the quick rack thats been in my garage for ages and got the tracking sorted.

Stuck in Hong Kong waiting for my next flight, just done 12 from Heathrow now got another 9 1/2 to go I know it pays the bills, but work can be a real PITA!

Won't be able to get near the car now for another 2 weeks

Im here wishing i could be doing work in the garage or something else but i am stuck revising for professional exams which isnt going too well as i am already on here

Even worse that the cars in pieces, one of the light weight hubs are off to the manufacturers as i believe its a little bent/runs untrue which is causing some wheel wobble. Found my issue with the groaning noise and could potentially be the front diff bearing as everythings good and tight

I have spent the day making a lifting bench for my motorbikes,got fed up of bending double to work on them.
Almost finished , have got it lifting up and down using a two ton trolly jack bought from Netto this morning (19-99), will post pics when finished.
