WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TODAY?
After another saturday of doing bathroom DIY and nothing on the kitcar i just want to know what everyone else is up to?
I feel like im never going to get the chance to work on the car much anymore now i have far too much DIY and BABY work to do. Any one got any
idea's of how to find time do do car stuff? In the week it gets late before im finished doing house stuff and then i feel to tired to do any
garage time.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I feel good now cos I actually went and did a bit to the car! sorting the pedal box, converting to non servo etc!
^^^^ Good luck on the wedding, enjoy! It will go far too quickly, trust me, and take a tip:
Everyone will be offering you a drink at the start of the night but you won't have enough hands, tell them "cheers, stick a pint behind
the bar for me, I've got one at the moment" otherwise you'll decline a million drinks, drink all you have in your hands, then be
buying your own all evening!

Well, it's been an important milestone in my build today - managed to finally fit the engine and gearbox
Had an abortive attempt last week when I managed to bend the cluch plate, but today it all went nicely. For such a big engine in such a little car, it
all slipped in very well.
I'm a very happy chappy

Making tailgate hinge mounts and experimenting with filler made from gelcoat and filler powder. It's good stuff actually. slightly runny so
goes on easily and very sandable.

Went shopping - went out for a blast in the toy car - cut out some abs sheet for rear wheel-arch protectors.
Not bad, all things considered...

Tried to glue the side bodypanel behind the catalysator again, the heat released the glue and the alu bodypanel gets dented by it.
Thinking of re-panel the whole car again

I have not failed once. I have successfully found ways that will not work!

Fixed the Fiesta rear wiper motor (caused smoke form the switch cluster).
Fixed the rear wiper on the Volvo. Shaft was seized from seal failing and the weather getting into it and corroding it up.
Unseized it, and bodged (rather well) the seal from the old fiesta wiper motor onto the Volvo shaft. Certinly wont happen again for a while.
All jobs cost me nowt but my time. All fixed from (useful) junk hoarded in the garage.
Slept most of the afternoon, and still feel tired.
Feel good about the cars, but still tired despite 11 hours sleep last night and a three more this afternoon.
Going to see the doc when I can get an appointment, as Its getting to me.
If the weather is OK tomorrow, then its a blast in the Viento, and start on the Boys Jago Geep, which I want gone from the drive (Been 2 years under a
tarp).
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff
