Spent Saturday thrashing the M3 around Donnington Park, until it ran out of brakes again anyway ;D

4x4

Ordered new discs and pads allround for truck, :o Total cost £86.60 bargain lol

Shackeng

Removed the bones on the Elite, replaced the shot rear bushes, (pressed in for £0 by my friendly local garage :)), refitted one, and ran out of time before dinner, fitting the pax side tomorrow.
Now for a nice 16 yr old malt. ::) ::) ::)

BazaJT

Fitted two new rear springs as the Elite failed the M.o.T.on a broken o/s one,so bought and fitted a new pair.This was my first time of having to replace springs on any car I've ever owned.Following the guide on here it took me a shade over 2hrs with the car supported on axle stands.The total time for the job also included a pause for a coffee and fag and a "comfort"break.Also some time was spent when re-assembling things to consult the Haynes manual as neither I nor my torque wrench are young enough to speak Nm so needed the lbs/ft value.But at least now car is once again M.o.T.'d.


TheBoy

Finally got around to putting the new tyres on the Bullet that have been sat in my garden for the past week or two ::)
Grumpy old man

andyc

Fitted a new AC drier to the Manta and plumbed in, fitted new trans mount, fitted exhaust, fitted rear brake pipe, made recir cable and fitted, repaired dash board screen vents, fitted plug for steering ECU, cleaned and schultzed the wings ready for fitting tomorrow.

Oh i've got a couple of weeks off work :y

Absolutely nothing. I've a fortnight off and have no interest whatsoever on doing anything to my car.

I have machined a backing plate for my lathe collet chuck, made a carriage stop, made a couple of adapters to fit the Dickson QCTP and adjusted the tangs of my MT2 tooling so they self-eject from the tailstock. I've only had the machine 8months, but now I can swap tooling easily and part-off effectively. After that I swept up 2 carrier bags of swarf and had a beer.

VXL V6

Got four Dunlop Sport Maxx RT's fitted to refurbished alloys and put them on the 3.2 and as a temporary measure to get the 2.6 (hopefully) through it's MOT it's now sitting on the 3.2's previous alloys with Continental SC3's.

Such fun changing 8 wheels in the rain.  ::) ;D
