Well, I bought them from Paddocks along with the tool and a few other bits.....

A man in a van brought me my exhaust jigsaw puzzle today.
Skinned knuckles tomorrow,or should I say more,and plenty of change for the swear jar at the ready.
And why don’t they put nuts on the bolts for the flanges.( found some good to go).
Might need to do some mods, let’s see

Interesting...Not my cup of tea to be honest, but then thankfully we all like different things. Deffo has that Tonka toy look to it tho...

A frame joint done.
Panard rod bushes next

Just thought I would do some last minute checks before tomorrows trip and the bonnet catch broke
Fortunately I have a spare so I have spent the last hour fitting that

Nope not on the shelf. They are getting me 1 in so will change next year some time.
Need motor weekend out scrurineering trials motors & laying out.

Dash trim fitted.another genuine part cheaper than blue bag.

Switches in now the trims done. Even a hole for a USB charger to run maps etc. Better order 1


Just need to decide if I just Ali sheet the vent area as putting the grey vent cover on looks crap.


Put the tray that covers the cable loom in the top of the dash & swept it out.
Productive afternoon..

Looking good

Ok I spent a few hours in the cold garage and ripped out the old rusty bits.(thats total time,rusty bits dont stand a chance with a grinder)

Now was on to fit the new bits.
Tail piece fits great (may have to cut mud flap but will see)
Now to join the 2 bits together.
Well that ain’t going to work is it

Anyway have left the garage with no more change in my pocket for the swear jar.
But I am hopefully on the last legs, and will get it beat tomorrow. Don’t really want to cut into new bits too much as makes future replacements easier. So everything is mocked up and ready for tomorrow’s assault
Have to say it was actually warmer standing in the pit than the garage by a noticeable amount. Probably won’t be tomorrow as it is open overnight.

Must remeber to pick up a bunch of change before I go to garage tomorrow

Cracking reply

It has taken me years to do this. In the summer the cable used to be fan. In the winter this was swapped for the glow plugs.
Just to confuse the mrs the heated rear screen lights up when I use it.

Disabled the central locking (and alarm), works better than ever now.
