[ScottieJ]

Last night I tidied up some rust... sprayed it with primer....realised i have no blue paint left

re-fitted some poppers to the fastback

Gave stuff a wobble

I think Will (kermes) is meeting me at the workshop around 2 Dan so should be with you around 8pm

Between midday Sunday and last night I've had the transfer and gear boxes out and back in, inspected clutch and cleaned linkage, replaced wheel bearings on 3 corners and adjusted the 4th including removing shafts cleaning swivels and greasing CVs, transfer box now in RW cradle, stripped cleaned and tried to improve x-eng, went to remove a 2nd rear prop which turned out to be just as bad as my current one.

Tonight I need to do gearbox and diff oils, try to make rear prop slide fit tighter?!?!.......

Then she should be good.

So far, I think you're winning the "did most stuff to prepare" trophy...

Last night.

Strip, clean, refit FWH

Gbox oil changed.

Props refitted with a few layers of PTFE tape lengthways over the splines to take up the the play...... I'm under no illusion that will last. I guess it will be the most temporary repair ever but I'm interested to see how long it lasts.

General engine checks.

If I'm not called out tonight I should probably take it for a quick drive to check the clutch is adjusted correctly after being out and back in.

Dude! You've won! Slow down, you're making the rest of us look bad!

[Ju]

He is done all that though but he won't take it to Devils Pit

Hangover rules

Get Helen to drive it then

All my electrics now electrify as they should. Stereo is working as are the new gauges and that damn clicking noise has gone. Rear brakes got new shoes, checked oil and water...forgot to do the diffs and gearbox oil...nuts. Rear latch adjusted, wipers moved a bit so they actually clear the screen (sorta) and loaded up the back with lots of gear...including oil and anti freeze incase someone needs a bit. Oh and tools!

[donkeychomp]

Anton forgot...I aim to be there about 4 ish and go raid Asda for supplies.
