So what have you done to your car today?

Discovered I was running on slicks....

....still, enough traction available, even in this cold, wet weather, so they'll be replaced with normal summer tyres

Hopefully the new ones will have some air in them

Pressures are correct. I tend to run 32 at front and 30 at rear. Even so, the wear pattern on rears implies overinflation.

Found a bit of a gas leak.

Following on from the Christmas Eve puddle encounter, today I have been doing mostly this...







Took forever to set, but sanded down to 800grit ready for priming. Had to strip as much as I did as the paint had cracked in chunks over a third of the length

Split was only 6" or so

[Nick W]

I think you'll find 800grit way too fine for primer. 
Actually, it's probably a bit much to be sanding the primer with 800

So which tyres are these? The F1's or the sport maxx?

Shall I bump the oof tyre thread?

SC5s. Good fooking riddance

The initial shaping was done with 40 grit, so still pretty rough, but no longer fluffy...

Thought you where saving those for the airfield do.

[Johnny English]

Transmission main shaft oil seal swap. Sorted.

[TheBoy]

I seem to be missing a car. I'll ask Mrs TB when I get out of the bath if she knows where it is.

It wasn't that windy last night, was it?

[05omegav6]

Beer induced befuddlement per chance
