[VXL V6]

Picked up replacement front wing and o/s/r door from RobG to smarten up the 3.2
Collected another car. 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Been for a 100 odd mile Sunday run to Porthmadog area in the 3.2 Elite didn't miss a beat 

[pirate]

[biggriffin]

[omega3000]

Went to Stamford 

[Seth]

Gave the TD a thorough pre-holiday season going-over.

Securely supported the car on stands, removed all the wheels and checked/cleaned all pads/discs.
Lub'd front calliper sliders and generally fettled the handbrake shoes/mechanism. No adjustment needed and nowt amiss!

Changed all the leak-off pipes, then used 'Wonder Wheels' to clean both sides of each wheel.

Youngest grandsons (aged 9 and 6) also (kinda) helped:


"Where's Gramps' windy gun?"




"Nearly finished ready for goin' to Welland and Newent!"





"How come I've gotta clean the insides of the wheels?"




"My big brother's doin' the hard work - I'm supervising!"   

A busy, though enjoyably informative couple of hours spent out in "Grampa's Fixi-it Shop"!

Drove it to the hospital and back yet again. ............then washed all the bird shite off it just after arriving at work.

I tried to do some work in the garage, got hacked off with how untidy and lacking in space it was so Amy & I spent most of the day tidying & cleaning it ... and failed to do any work on the actual car 



All the bits on the bench are now ready to go off to be refurbished:

[05omegav6]

That's two far too tidy garages

I can only get into mine because the washing machine is in there and needs to be accessible. Damned if I know what else is in there though

[Mr Gav]

I finished polishing my Headlights using a 3M polishing kit, well worth the money.

After

[dbug]

Filled the Jag up with petrol, now need second mortgage

I once found a Nova in my old garage, that I'd completely forgotten I'd put in there (in the days before SORN and all that 'dangle berries').

I did wonder if I might have a Granada buried in there somewhere, but on balance I'm fairly sure there isn't as the garage doesn't smell of damp rusty Ford

[05omegav6]

Given it a wash ready for its new owner
