Nothing today, but picked him up on Friday from having a new radius arm and 4 wheel alignment set up.
The back end has been trying to overtake the front end since a mazda 6series ran into the back of me earlier this year.
Had a very enjoyable drive home, the long way of course .
Oh yes I also put a new set of 10" alloys on.

I have fiddled with my heater to try and get the damper in the correct position and get more air blowing on to the screen. Well I have a little more air blowing on the screen but now I can't move the lever to the OFF position  but I can live with that for now!! |

Today I've spent most of my time rubbing out the runs from last week's paint coat And putting a fresh coat on top. It's not perfect, but it will have to do for now; son Adam has his test in two weeks and I'll need another car on the road! |

didn't do anything today but I did take it for an mot on tuesday. Unfortunately it failed on 3 bits of welding! But it was the first time I've driven it properly and it was great fun. Now I just need to sort out that welding somehow.

I fitted an oil cooler to Mollymoke (I had it from another car) but one of the manual engine pipes was all wrong, different thread on one end, elbow on the other where I wanted straight... 2 trips to a local 'hose shop' all fixed and working well now, fresh oil and filter, nice clean cool engine... Guess this sounds funny as UK is suffering from the cold right now  |
