That's a good noise.

Shame about not hearing it over 3k rpm... That's when it starts to sound even better!

109 is out of action til I fully sort the rad, cba using it til then the V8 is becoming my daily for the next week

What haven't I done to it today

fitted new track rod ends all 4 and the damper
adjusted the steering box
fitted a full new de cat exhaust system
fitted new rear shocks
fitted new brake pipes
welded up the boot floor and sills
replaced a few light bulbs
painted some rough looking bits
Fitted anti roll bar bushes and drop links on the rear

Mot tomorrow

Got the thing off!! Put new pads in and replaced the drive flange on both side. This side got a new wheel bearing too. Other side was done a month back.

It took some map gas and butane and two paire of hands to keep the 3 studs hot while a big hammer and chisel was used tonl knock it off.

It held on until the last minute but finally gave up. Lovely stuff. Breaks are much better now too

I've just had the worse drive home in the V8....having to stop and let it cool every so often as my leccy fan broke


Going to get a custom rad made up to fit in the chassis I think, but the fans now wired up again and it works

Just need to adjust the brakes after a late lunch and then I can go driving again

Took my passenger seat out so my boss couldn't make me pick up a guest from a train station an hours drive away..
the simple things ..

Realised I cocked it up

more welding

picked up another set of exhaust manifolds for it.......

Put the back seats down to get Mr SL's mountain bike in the back as he was out with me when I rode me horse. Unfortunately 20 mins onto the ride his chain snapped so had to walk the rest of the way :lol:

Stuck some LED lighting strips in and wired them up so that I have internal lights ... and have an illuminated switch to turn them on and off!

Fixed the aircon (new compressor and a bottle of R134) and fitted a 12s towing socket

picked up a steering guard and rear shock dropper plates got to fit the steering guard but need a bit more daylight to sort the shock droppers as my nuts have siezed solid so will have to get the angle grinder out and if I'm doing that then I might as well sort the chassis rot in that area aswell
