Money?

I still haven't quite grasped the concept of how that works yet. Its just numbers on a bank balance for 5 minutes once a week. People keep taking it all of me for some reason.

Rear diff is weeping now though!

Another rare night at home through the week.

Gave the Zuk a pressure was off at work to reveal some additional drain holes i never knew where there. May have to address those at some point.

Exhaust isn't as bad as i thought. Just the mounting bracket rusted off. That will also weld up.

Been running quite lumpy on tick over, had a suspicion it was sucking extra air in between carb and manifold / manifold and block. Did some investigation with a tin of WD40 and it is between carb and manifold. So as soon as i get the sealant back from my Dad thats a nice quick fix.

Also gave the rad a damn good blast through and its running much cooler, haven't been any great distance to test it yet and it is also much cooler today. Time will tell on this one, signs are good though.

All in all nothing as serious as i thought, just a few minor jobs to do. Hoping to get the 410 front clip VL done and fitted, maybe even painted, by Wagtail.

Woth the exception of running hot it went fine all weekend. Exhaust blow is nothing major.

Just been to the exhaust place. And decided on a wallet pleasing compromise.

The majority of the exhaust pipe is ok just rotten at the back and the silencer is rotten.

Going to have a cherry bomb!!!! Fitted underneath and then a stainless pipe up the back of the cab. So even when it does rust away again you won't see any on the outside.

Booked in for Sat 27th.
